D-E-ep Thoughts <\/strong>(based on R\u2019 Rosner)<\/span><\/span>: Whenever we enter into deals (especially for Holy matters) we must remain true to our words and commitments. Regarding designated items to Hashem, we must never try to personally benefit (if it means Holiness is on the losing end). Even when we take change from Tzedakadah, we should always leave a little behind (so we are not simply \u2018using\u2019 the charity box for our own gain). We are here to serve G-d and others, therefore, everything we do should reflect that mindset.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
