Comments
To give wholeheartedly "without a view to receiving a reward" is the essence of volunteer activity for which Jews have always been well-known and, according to Judaism, is the highest of virtues between man and man. The giver of charity gives of his money only, and helps only the poor, but the volunteer gives also of himself, and of his precious time, helping rich and poor alike. In 1972, the Israeli Government founded the "Center for Volunteer Services", for even in an organized, modern society, the personal dimension is necessary. The Center's motto "To give is also to receive" expresses perfectly the friendship and partnership that develop between the "giver" and the "receiver".
