The Jewish nation is meant to bring blessing upon all nations and societies. This was promised to all three patriarchs. (See 1:6 above.) Thus, the more resources the Jewish people have, the greater their mitzva to aid other nations. And the closer in spirit a nation is to the Jewish people, the greater the obligation.

As we have seen, the highest level of tzedaka is that which allows the poor to be self-sufficient. Similarly, aiding other nations should primarily involve helping them develop their own economy in all areas, including agriculture, manufacturing, education, and healthcare.

The Jewish tradition with all of its mitzvot, practices, and ambitions for the perfection of the world, in the life of the individual, the family, society and the nation, in the cycle of life and the cycle of the year, on weekdays, on Sabbaths and on holidays.
