Tzedaka refines

The Alter Rebbe wrote: ‘Through a person performing acts of tzedaka נעשים מוחו ולבו אלף פעמים ככה [his heart and mind become one thousand times more delicate]. On numerous occasions the Rebbe pointed out that this is not an expression, or an exaggeration, but literal. And the Rebbe illustrated: This means that what would have taken you 1000 hours to learn you will be able to learn in 1 hour.
