Generosity that cannot be taken back — as Rabbi Landau teaches it

By Rabbi Shalom Landau.

Rabbi Landau teaches that rabbi Landau tells of a man who pretended he could not walk in order to receive money, and of a brother who, once the pretense was exposed, was not angry. He was glad the man could walk, and he let him keep the money. If you gave because you genuinely wanted to give, someone else's behavior cannot take that goodness away from you.
