Through helping others. Here’s an interesting book that I found recently — “Rambam’s Ladder: The Eight Steps of Giving.”

The 8 steps of giving are as follows:

8 — Responsibility
At the top of the ladder is the gift of self-reliance. To hand someone a gift or a loan, or to enter into a partnership with him, or to find work for him, so that he will never have to beg again.

7 — Anonymity
To give to someone you don’t know and do so anonymously.

6 — Corruption
To give to someone you know, but who doesn’t know from whom he is receiving help.

5 — Boundries
To give to someone you don’t know, but allow your name to be known.

4 — Shame
To hand money to the poor before being asked, but risk making the recipient feel shame.

3 — Solicitation
To hand money to the poor after being asked.

2 — Proportion
To give less to the poor than is proper, but to do so cheerfully.

1 — Reluctance
To give begrudgingly.
