  Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the Jewish ethical tradition of shemirat hadibbur—guarding one’s speech.

• Jewish Teachings on Wealth, Happiness, and the Art of Generosity (Part 5)

  This week, Rabbi Josh Feigelson reflects on how his bar mitzvah helped shape his lifelong relationship with tzedakah—Jewish giving. Inspired by tzedakah advocate Danny Siegel, Rabbi Feigelson recounts how choosing generosity over gifts shifted his perspective on possessions, wealth, and happiness. This fifth installment in the “Jewish Ethics” miniseries goes beyond the immediate, face-to-face acts of charity discussed in the previous episode, and explores the quieter, often harder version of tzedakah: giving when no one is watching, when no one is asking. Along the way, we learn from Rabbi Shimon ben Zoma’s timeless wisdom: “Who is wealthy? One who is happy with what they have.” Soulful Jewish Living: Mindful Practices for Every Day is a production of Unpacked, a division of OpenDor Media, and the Institute for Jewish Spirituality.

• The Spiritual Power of Giving: Tzedakah in Jewish Ethics (Part 4)

  Rabbi Josh Feigelson shares a personal story that becomes a powerful lesson in tzedakah, the Jewish ethical obligation to give. Through an unexpected moment outside a Walgreens, Josh explores the deep emotional and spiritual layers that arise when we encounter people in need—and how choosing to act with compassion can reconnect us to our divine purpose. In the latest episode in a series on Jewish ethics and mindfulness, explore how tzedakah is far more than charity. The word tzedakah means justice—rooted in the Hebrew word tzedek. It’s not optional generosity, but a sacred responsibility.
