In Perek Vov of Igeret Hakodesh the Alter Rebbe speaks of the profound connection between "planting" charity and experiencing truth. Perek Vov delves into the wisdom of King Solomon's Proverbs to explore the concept of planting charity (Tzedakah) and its rewards.

By understanding the three primary emotional modes represented by the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we learns how compassion plays a crucial role in our service to Hashem. The Alter Rebbe highlights the importance of contemplating the plight of the soul and the limitations of our finite minds. The solution lies in the attribute of charity, which enables us to tap into true levels of love, awe, and mercy that surpass our own abilities. Through acts of merciful giving, especially to causes in the Holy Land, one can experience heightened spiritual sensitivity, described as the ultimate truth.
