Parashat Ba: "And also a great evening came up with them and flocks and herds of cattle very heavy" - the commandment of charity keeps the money and money of the people of Israel.

Delivered Mekhilta (L, pad) case this week "Same to horde Alh Atm and Tzan and Bkr Mknh Cbd a kick" Alihm Amr Hashem Labrhm "and Ahri Cn Itzao Brcs Gdol" with Itziatn Mmtzrim I Mmlan Csf and Zhb ".

The words of the Mekhilta are very puzzling - what is the meaning and also a great evening came up with them and sheep and cattle?

But it is possible to interpret and say a great element, we know what our holy rabbis tell us (Midrash Shmuel Avot 3:17) that he who has money and does not give charity, will eventually lose his money and not be left with it.

If so, the power and saving of man's money is a charity that man gives, he who does not give charity at the end of all he has is lost to him.

And so we follow the thing for many years, many people we saw them with great wealth and were hard on charity matters and kept the wealth, suddenly one person came and took all their money.

But people who gave to charity, even if they seemed to be lacking, God never left them nor abandoned them, in the most difficult times the name gave them great abundance. The

greatest virtue to keep wealth is charity, and it is harder to be rich and lose money than That a person will always be poor.A person who is always poor copes and knows how to live with the life of no, but a person who was once rich and lost his money, it is very difficult for him.It is easier to always be simple and not rich in a moment we become rich, because being rich and suddenly poor is the hard thing most.

If so, Gd gave a great abundance to the children of Israel when they left Egypt and as the Torah says "and fifty Israelites came up from the land of Egypt" (Exodus 13:18) came up armed with silver and gold, and everyone who came out of Egypt in Egypt says many :) From Egypt there were ninety donkeys laden with silver and gold. The question arises: all the children of Israel were very rich, and in order for their money to be saved and not lose the money they had to give charity, so to whom would they give charity to keep the money?

So we thought to be careful. He gave every Jew who came out of Egypt great wealth, the great evening they came out with from Egypt converted and they had no money and gold.When they came up with Israel from Egypt, they had no one to give charity because everyone was rich, only for a great evening they converted and were poor. She who kept the silver and gold of the people of Israel from the promise of Gd to our ancestor Abraham "Know you will know that a stranger will be your seed in the land not for them and a slave and a tormentor who will not kill them (four of them)."

So part of the right of the miracle that God gave the bounty to the people of Israel, there will also be an evening long to be those who give charity.

Therefore, the person must know a great foundation and make sure, if he marry his children in great abundance and joy must ensure also help orphan marrying. Adam Whoever buys something for himself, should help and do kindness with another person of the same weight. Everything that a person does and does also do kindness, he will have a great blessing in it. A person who enriches his money, God saves him his money.

A person who does things and keeps it only to himself, in the end will lose everything.

God brings the children of Israel out of Egypt when everyone is rich, there is no one to give charity except for the great evening they immigrated with, tonight many converts and they are poor, the people of Israel give them charity and this is the virtue of keeping the money of the people of Israel. God guards and protects man and has a blessing in his deeds.
