How to Become a Giver in a World of Takers?

Rabbi Simon Jacobson

Are you a giver or a taker? The fact is that we live in a world that teaches us how to take, with the justification and argument that life is fundamentally selfish; survival of the fittest is the driving ethos and if you don't take care of yourself no one else will take care of you.

Is that accurate? Is that a healthy attitude? On a short term basis, it may seem that being a taker will benefit you, even if doesn't help others. But what about the bigger, long-term picture? What about love, virtue, nobility -- what happens with these fundamental elements in life when we are in a parasitic state of mind?

Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson in this penetrating talk -- digging into the core of what defines us as humans -- and discover how giving lays at the heart and soul of a healthy life. When you give you become a creator -- defining yourself and your destiny, instead of being defined by those you take from. Giving builds confidence and security, enabling you to actualize your greatest potential.
