Maimonides' Ladder

Tzedakah (charitable giving) is central to Judaism. It is not only what you give, but how you give it. Maimonides organized eight levels of giving tzedakah like rungs on a ladder. These levels are listed out of order on the right. Drag them to the ladder on the left in the order you think makes sense. Place the highest levels of giving on the top rungs and the lower levels of giving on the bottom. Remember- think about intent!
