Text: Likutey Halakhos, Orach Chaim 3, Hilkhos Rosh Hashanah 6, Roshei Perokim, Paragraph. 5. Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
01:06 – QUESTION: Is giving tzedakah (charity) with two hands an allegory or literal? RESPONSE:

יְהֹוָ֥ה שֹֽׁמְרֶ֑ךָ יְהֹוָ֥ה צִ֜לְּךָ֗ עַל־יַ֥ד יְמִינֶֽךָ

“Hashem is your shadow at your right hand.” (Tehillim/Psalms 121:5).
05:37 – RESPONSE specifically to giving tzedakah with two hands: in Breslov communities in Eretz Yisrael it is a custom to take this literally, but Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld z”l said that “two hands” can also mean with all one’s heart.
