Creating Angels

Award-winning storyteller Barbara Diamond Goldin has collected and retold twenty-four stories about tzedakah in this inspiring volume. The Hebrew word tzedakah is often translated as "charity," but it actually means "justice" or "righteousness." Goldin has brought these rich and varied stories of tzedakah together in the hope that they will encourage readers to give to those in need, to adopt a righteous sensibility regarding the commandment to perform acts of loving-kindness, and, in this way, engage in repairing the world.
