תלמוד בבלי, בבא בתרא ט:
ואמר רבי יצחק: כל הנותן פרוטה לעני מתברך בשש ברכות, והמפייסו בדברים - מתברך בי"א ברכות.
R. Isaac said: Anyone who gives a coin to a poor person is blessed with six blessings, but one who encourages the poor with words is blessed with eleven.
[Soncino translation. Edited for gender neutrality]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. What does it mean to encourage someone with words?
