The Torah speaks about giving charity in Deut. 15:7ff ("If there will be a poor man among you... you shall not
harden your heart or shut your hand toward your poor brother; you shall open your hand to him and shall give
him enough for his needs") and Lev. 25:35ff ("If your brother becomes poor... you shall support him, stranger
or settler, and he shall live with you").
