Charity Boxes

Some people make sure to have a charity box at home. Every day, whether before praying or at some other point, they put some money in it. Periodically, they empty the box and donate the value of the coins collected to yeshivot or to the poor. Even though the primary fulfillment of the mitzva of charity is to give a tenth or a fifth every month from one’s earnings, these people go beyond the call of duty, donating daily to accustom themselves to giving to good causes.
