I recall from my days of Hebrew school the Jewish concept of Tzedekah, or charity.  There are roughly 8 degrees of giving based on the teachings of Maimonides, each one greater than the next:
1-Giving to the poor unwillingly
2-Giving to the poor gladly with a smile
3-Giving to the poor after being asked
4-Giving to the poor before being asked
5-Giving to the poor you don’t know but who knows you
6-Giving to the poor who you know but does not know you
7-Giving to the poor and neither benefactor nor recipient know each other.
8-Helping a person in such a way that they are no longer in need of help.

I was drawn to this site because of this teaching long ago.
I look forward to being able to give and receive your cards in the near future.

Very cool post. We are almost ready to make the cards available to everyone. Of course there are always unexpected bumps in the road, but we really are almost ready.
