ייִדישער מחשבֿה אויף תהילים 112:9

Part of the loftiness of charity is like that which they, may their memory, be blessed said in the chapter [entitled] Tollin (Shabbat 139a:5): Ulla said, "Jerusalem will only be redeemed through charity, as it is stated: Zion will be redeemed with justice and those who return to her with charity (Isaiah 1:27)." And they, may their memory be blessed, also said (Bava Batra 10a:12), "Great is charity in that it advances the redemption, as it is stated: Uphold justice and do charity, for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed (Isaiah 56:1)." And a person should understand this matter from that which was explained above. That Moses said to the Holy One, blessed be He, "With what will the Jewish people's horn be raised? With that which they shall lift the head" — as is explained above. For the Jewish people's horn is raised through charity. And it is like they also said (Bava Batra 10b:4), "They asked Solomon, 'How far does the power of charity [extend]?' He said to them, 'See what my father explained, as it is written: He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor, his righteousness endures forever, his horn shall be exalted with honor (Psalms 112:9).'" Jerusalem will be redeemed through charity, since the Jewish people elevates itself through charity. And hence, it also advances the redemption, amen!
