Halakhah su Daniele 12:3

If you persuade others to give charity and you motivate them, your reward is greater than the giver, as it is said: "And the work[er] of charity will be [rewarded with] peace."²⁷Isaiah 32:17. And about the treasurers of charity, and others like them who collect charity, it is said: "Those who cause others to be righteous [shall shine] as the stars."²⁸Daniel 12:3. And the treasurer of charity who is insulted by the poor, should not be concerned, for on account of this, his reward is even greater.

And this is one of the commandments that is incumbent on the community, every [community] in each and every place. And a community that is fit to establish a court among them - as is elucidated in Tractate Sanhedrin 2b - and does not establish it for themselves, has violated this positive commandment and their punishment is very great, as this commandment is a strong pillar in preservation of the religion. And we should learn from this that even though - on account of our iniquities - we do not have ordained [judges] in our days, each and every congregation in every place should appoint among themselves some of the best of themselves to be a power above all of them; to coerce with all types of coercion [as they see fit] - monetary or corporal - for the commandments of the Torah or to prevent anything that is disgusting and anything similar to it from among them. And it is also fitting for those appointed to straighten their [own] ways and to refine their deeds and remove the disparagement of the people from among them; lest the [people] answer their rebuke, that they should [first] remove the beam (their own iniquity) between their eyes. And they should always seek the benefit of their fellows that are dependent upon them, to teach them the true path and to bring peace among them with all their strength. And they should abandon and leave and forget all pleasures from their hearts. And they should put their hearts to this and most of their thoughts and occupation should be about this. And [then] the verse will be established through them (Daniel 12:3), "And the enlightened ones will be radiant like the brightness of the firmament, and those who lead the many to righteousness will be like the stars forever and ever."
