Giving Tzedakah to Non-Jews (Hilchos Matnos Aniyim 7:7)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (11/10/22), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, we continued the Rambam's halachos about the recipients of tzedakah. We noted at the beginning of our topic that according to the Rambam, the mitzvah de'Oraisa is ONLY to give tzedakah to Jews. Today we learned where and how he codifies the obligation to give tzedakah to non-Jews - and why.-----מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר זרעים, הלכות מתנות עניים ז:א,זרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות מלכים ומלחמות י:יבדברים יד:כארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות עבודה זרה וחוקות הגויים ט:טז; י:ב,ה -----This week's Torah content has been sponsored anonymously.
