105 – Bestowing Kindness / Part II, Chapter Sixteen (b)

Great reward is set aside for a tzedakah trustee – a person who urges others to donate of their money for the sake bestowing kindness. For our Sages said, “Greater is the one who causes others to do a mitzvah] than the one who does it himself”; that is, when a person urges and causes another person to perform a mitzvah, it is considered as though he himself has performed that mitzvah. Therefore, a tzedakah trustee receives many great merits for every penny he collects, besides for the fact that he is counted among those who bring righteousness to the masses, about whom our Sages said that no sin comes their way.
