The Rebbe on the Melting Pot and the Tzedakah Box

"May G-d Almighty bless everyone with a happy year, and go from strength to strength in all things necessary, especially for the benefit of the nationalities in New York; it is a "melting pot" for many nations, may all these nationalities live in good peace, and in harmony, and every one of them should strengthen the nationalities around them especially in matters of charity."

How about this year, as the Rebbe recommends, promoting charities to benefit those outside of the Jewish people?

I recommend giving to charities that help our communities that are of a different nationality/faith than us. To help improve schools around our neighborhood that don't have large Jewish attendance, as well as to people around the world that are in desperate need of basic supplies to live.

Tzedakah still counts if it isn't going to Jewish causes.
