HESITATIONS

[6a bottom] Braisa: When discussing vows, the extra word of “Bificha” comes to includes Tzedakah (‘charity’). Rava explains there is a need to fulfill this commandment immediately, when poor people are present. These paupers need charity at this moment and it would be a violation of the Mitzvah to push it off with each passing moment.

T’s lesson: Tzedakah is one of the most important Mitzvos in the Torah. We should never delay with this commandment. We should give Tzedakah as soon as possible with our money to ensure that the poor who are waiting are taken care of without delay.
