Jews are required to give tzedakah. This word is sometimes translated as charity, but the root of the word is tzedek, which means Justice. Even poor Jews who receive tzedakah are asked to give. Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, who lived in 12th century Fostat (now surrounded by its former suburb, Cairo), identified levels of tzedakah, concluding that the lowest form was the grudging gift, while the highest form was to lift the recipient out of poverty by teaching them a trade so that they no longer require tzedakah.
