What if the bravest thing you do today is small, visible, and costly—in all the right ways? We open with a challenge to the modern idea of “toughness,” shifting it from brawls and bravado to daily courage: writing a clear letter, sharing a fact-based post about Israel, supporting a neighbour, or giving when it hurts a little. Fear of labels and political correctness can freeze us; principled action thaws the fear and builds real strength.

From there, we dig into trust—bitachon—as more than a slogan. If God is active in the details, our habits should show it. That’s where ma’aser, or tithing, becomes the proving ground. We explain what tithing is, how to calculate it after core obligations like kosher food and Jewish education, and why this specific practice carries a unique divine invitation: “Test Me.” Not to demand a spectacle, but to learn how generosity resets the inner story from scarcity to stewardship. We explore the timeless wordplay that links ma’aser to wealth, unpack how giving opens a “pinhole” for blessing, and share practical ways to choose recipients, track your impact, and build a sustainable rhythm of generosity.

Advocacy and giving, we argue, are two channels of the same current. When you speak up with clarity and give with intention, you train your heart to value truth over optics and people over comfort. Over time, that alignment breeds courage, calm, and a quiet kind of abundance. If you’ve wrestled with posting your convictions or starting a giving practice, this conversation offers both framework and first steps—grounded, concrete, and doable. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a nudge toward courage, and leave a review to tell us: what’s one bold action you’ll take this week?
