The Greatest Gift We Can Give Is Ourselves
Don Feder argues the best present is giving of ourselves not gifts or money. He references a Twilight Zone episode to illustrate compassion, cites Tikun Olam, Esther Jungreis, and Jewish values, and advocates acts like listening, visiting the sick, comforting the bereaved, and speaking kind words as true wealth beyond material possessions. Feder writes for the Boston Herald.
