How to Become More Generous (Even When You Don’t Feel Like It)

A doctor once checked a man’s heart by holding his hand.

The man was confused. The pain was in his chest. But the doctor knew the hand tells you how the heart is working.

In this week’s Rise & Shine, Adrienne takes that idea further. Jewish tradition sees Tzedakah, often translated as charity, as righteousness: something we practice, not something we wait to feel. In a season when holding on can feel safer than giving, that matters.

It can start small. A dollar, ten times. A compliment you’d usually keep to yourself. An hour you didn’t think you had.

You don’t need to feel generous to begin.
