The Inspiration of Rabbi Meir Ba’al Haness in Colel Chabad’s Donation Efforts

For generations, Jews have given tzedakah in his merit, invoking the well-known Rabbi Meir Ba’al Haness prayer “G-d of Meir, answer me.” Donating in the merit of Rabbi Ba’al Haness highlights an important Jewish tradition of acts of loving kindness and spiritual dedication.
