Highest Level of Giving Made Easy

| Sunday, December 2, 2007
Maimonides, one of the most important Jewish scholars, wrote of eight levels of charity. The highest is
...endowing him with a gift or loan, or entering into a partnership with him, or finding employment for him, in order to strengthen his hand until he need no longer be dependent upon others...
Thanks to the Internet, this way of giving is actually the easiest to accomplish thanks to the phenomenon of microloans: small loans (less than $200) made to individuals to help fund a business venture. Web sites such as Kiva make this extremely easy. Simply pick the individual you want to sponsor, choose a loan amount, and use Paypal to complete the transaction. The whole process took me less than 5 minutes.
