While there can be no denying the general generosity of the Jewish community, there is one area of financial obligations that is often overlooked. This is the area that is an outgrowth of hakeret hatov, recognizing good that was done on your behalf. How much consideration do we give when we have benefited at the cost of another? What is our responsibility in that regard?
In my latest Jewish Tribune article, I develop this idea further. Please see
