Rambam Bekius
Giving Tzedakah to Non-Jews (Hilchos Matnos Aniyim 7:7)
Show Notes

This afternoon (11/10/22), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, we continued the Rambam's halachos about the recipients of tzedakah. We noted at the beginning of our topic that according to the Rambam, the mitzvah de'Oraisa is ONLY to give tzedakah to Jews. Today we learned where and how he codifies the obligation to give tzedakah to non-Jews - and why.
