openning up our presents

The Baal HaTanya in the daily portion of the Tanya from this past shabbath makes a beautiful connection. He relates that doing teshuvah awakens HaShem's deepest yearnings to look upon us with infinite mercy; but this mercy has no vessel, no form of expression down in this world until we perform the mitzwah of tzedakka. Through tzedakka without limit we open up the floodgates for HaShem's limitless mercy to pour out upon us.
