From the donor's perspective

What drives a person to give generously, consistently, and with genuine joy?In this conversation, Shmuly Rothman sits down with Sruli Schochet to explore the mindset, faith, and responsibility behind meaningful Tzedakah. Sruli shares how Emunah and Bitachon shape his approach to money, giving, and business, and why true trust in Hashem changes the way a person views wealth entirely.The discussion dives into the emotional and practical realities of fundraising from the perspective of the giver. Sruli explains how donors process requests, why intuition often plays a role in deciding how much to give, and how the Yetzer Hara can sometimes disguise itself as “rational thinking” when generosity is being challenged.Sruli also breaks down the three categories through which he approaches Tzedakah: obligation, protection, and inspiration. He explains why certain projects resonate more deeply with donors and how Shluchim can communicate their mission in a way that creates emotional connection and long-term impact.This episode is a powerful exploration of generosity, trust, dignity, and the eternal impact of supporting Shlichus.
