What to say before giving tzedakah
Question
Hello and blessings.
What should one say before the mitzvah of tzedakah (that is, giving tzedakah into a charity box or giving an amount of money to the poor)? Is there a fixed halachic practice for this?
I would appreciate an answer.
All the best, and thank you.
Answer
Hello and blessings.
There is no need to say anything before giving tzedakah. If one wishes, one may say that it should be for the elevation of the soul of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes and for the merit of success.
