IT WAS SUNDAY AGAIN and I could hear the coins clinking and clanking in the special can that the teacher had to collect money for needy people. I could tell it was getting heavy because the coins made a deeper sound as my classmates generously slid their coins through the slot. I proudly pulled two shiny quarters out of my coin purse and polished them on my skirt. Some of my friends recycled cans for the money that they brought and some took it out of their allowance, but every child brought what they could to help people in need. I was so proud to have fifty cents that week because I usually only brought a quarter. My teacher always told me that even a penny was a mitzvah and every little bit helped. As I dropped my coins into the can, I felt that I was doing my part and I smiled.
A mitzvah is like a simple random act of kindness, except there is nothing random about it. When I learned about what a mitzvah was, I was only five, and at that time, I didn't realize the importance it would play in my life. In kindergarten I learned that collecting money to help hungry people is a mitzvah. A mitzvah is an action that a person performs to make our world a kinder, safer, and more humane place to live.
As I have grown older, I have come to understand mitzvahs in a different way. I want to feel that I am doing my part every day, not just on Sunday. My law of life has become performing acts of kindness every day. Not only do I want to do mitzvahs, but I want to do them wholeheartedly and with grace. I want to help people without making them feel indebted to me. I have come to realize that mitzvahs are not about solving world problems, mitzvahs are about simple things that I can do in my life. Simple things like smiling at someone who looks lonely, reaching cereal from the top shelf for an elderly woman in a store, or helping my little sister study cell structures until eleven o'clock at night are examples of mitzvahs. In my life, I want to help people by being a special piece of today's busy, complicated puzzle.
Jewish tradition has stressed the importance of performing mitzvahs. I believe this is because acts of kindness lead to more acts of kindness. Mitzvahs seem to have the ripple effect because when I smile at someone, I often get a smile in return. When I do something kind for someone, they might pass the kindness on.
Although I have been taught the importance of mitzvahs, I have chosen to make kindness a standard of my life. Doing a simple mitzvah every day is not difficult, in fact it has become second nature. These things that I choose to do are not intended to benefit me. While personal recognition and gratification are not the purpose of doing mitzvahs, I am somehow left with a feeling of self worth and enrichment as well.
An important expectation that I have for my life is to control what I do by my actions. I truly believe that doing a simple mitzvah for someone is an amazing way to find my personal identity. Performing mitzvahs allows me to become closer to the person that I strive to be so that I know that I am living to my full potential. I feel connected to who I truly am when I show love and kindness toward other people.
Mitzvahs are an integral part of my religion and more importantly, they are a standard that I have set to live by. Mitzvahs have shaped who I am and how I interact with the people around me. In first grade, I always felt inspired by the way that my mitzvahs affected people around me. Some of the warmest feelings that I have ever felt have come from mitzvahs. These simple acts of kindness have sculpted my heart. At night, when I turn out the light and climb into bed, I need to have a feeling of self respect for who I am and what I do. Without my law of life, I would feel empty and alone because to me, a helping hand connects me to a world that needs the simple hand that I have to offer.
又是一个星期日，我可以听见那个特殊的罐子里硬币叮叮当当的响声，罐子是老师为贫困的人们捐款用的。我可以断定罐子渐渐地重了，因为同学们慷慨地将硬币从投币口慢慢放进去的时候，钱币发出的声音更低沉了。我骄傲地从钱包里掏出两枚发亮的二角五分的硬币，在裙子上擦了擦。我的几个朋友靠回收罐子赚钱，然后把得到的钱带来，还有几个是从他们的补助里拿的，但孩子们把能带的都带来了，来帮助那些需要帮助的人。这周我交了五角，感到格外自豪，因为通常我只带二角五分。老师总是告诉我，即使是一分钱也是施乐行善，每一点钱都会起到它的作用。当我把钱币投进罐里的时候，就会感到我正在尽自己的一份力，于是，开心地笑了。
施乐行善就如同非常简单而随意的善良之举一样，只不过不是胡乱去做的。我了解施乐行善的时候，只有五岁，况且当时我并不清楚它在生活中有多重要。在幼儿园的时候，我知道捐款帮助挨饿的人是施乐行善。施乐行善是人的行为，它会使我们生活的世界更和善、更安全、更人道。
我渐渐长大了，也逐渐从不同的角度来理解施乐行善。我每天都想感觉到自己在尽自己的一份力，而不仅仅只是星期日才有。我的“人生法则”是每天都要做善事，不但想施乐行善，而且想全心全意地、备感荣幸地做好事。我想帮助别人，并不想让人家有感恩戴德的感觉。我已经明白施乐行善并不是都要解决世界问题，它是日常生活中可以做的小事。谁感到寂寞了，对他笑一笑；在商店里，帮助老人从顶层货架上拿谷类食品；帮助小妹妹学习细胞结构，学到晚上十一点，这些都是施乐行善的例子。生活中，我想成为今天忙碌复杂的社会当中一个特殊而不可缺少的人来帮助别人。
犹太传统历来重视施乐行善，我想是因为一个善行总会引出一连串的善行。行善就像水面的涟漪，一波一波地荡漾开去。我对他人微笑，他人也报以微笑。我为他人行善，他人就会把这善举继续下去。
人们一直对我谆谆教诲的是行善的重要，但行善对我远不止重要。我把善良作为自己的人生准则。每天做好事并不难，因为这已成了我的本性。我做好事不为自己，也不求认可和感激。我自有回报，那就是我得到一种充实感，找到了自我的价值。
我非常希望在生活中能用实际行动来约束自己。我的实际行动就是行善。我坚信行善是认识自我的良好途径。因为每做一件善事都让我离理想的自我又近了一步，让我知道我在充分地发挥自我，尽情地生活。每当我关爱别人、与人为善时，我会感到这才是真正的自我。
施乐行善是我所信仰的宗教当中必不可少的组成部分，更重要的是，成了我遵循的准则。施乐行善塑造了我的品德，也规范了我和周围人交往的方式。一年级时，我做了好事，影响了周围的人， 自己总会感到欣慰。自己有几次心里感觉热乎乎的，都是因为施乐行善的缘故。正是这些简单的善举塑造了我的心灵。夜晚，当我关掉电灯爬到床上的时候，我都要反思自己：我是谁?我做了什么?我需要在反思中肯定自己。如果没有“人生法则”，我就会感到空虚孤独，因为在我看来，是援助之手将我和需要帮助的人群联系在一起，为了他们，我必须伸出真诚的手。
