Title:Tzedakah was the first to attract my attention too

I totally agree with Someone. I don`t speak any Hebrew, but the word Tzedakah was the first to jump when I read it in the news. It means in Arabic to give to charity as means to get closer to God. It has the same social and religious meaning in Arabic and Islam. I keep wondering why we keep focusing on the differences while we all have so much in common. Too bad the charities got entwined in this evil scheme.
