"Anticipate charity by preventing poverty; help your fellow man who is in reduced circumstances, either by a substantial gift or a sum of money or by teaching him a trade or by finding him some means of employment so that he may earn an honest living and not be obliged to pursue the grim option of begging for charity. This is the highest rung and summit of the golden ladder of charity."
~~~~~ Moshe ben Maimon [Maimonides], (1135-1204)
