כל מפרסת פרסה ושוסעת שסע פרסות מעלת גרה בבהמה אותה תאכלו (שמיני יא:ג)

Maran Reb Yissocher Dov of Belz zt”l (known as the Freerdige Rav – lit. the previous Rabbi) used to speak about the topic of giving tzedakah (charity), saying: “It is not enough for a person to give tzedakah graciously, one also needs to exert oneself to go round town and collect money on behalf of the lesser well-off people. We learn this concept from the two signs that render an animal kosher: “מעלה גרה” – to give from your own money tzedakah a “גרה” – (a type of coin from Biblical times) and “מפריס פרסה” – walk your own footsteps to go and collect funds for other Yidden – as the Moshe Rabenu told Paroh: לא תשאר פרסה not one footstep will be left behind.
