THE REMARKABLE $1 billion donation of widow Ruth Gottesman to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine stands out as a testament to the lasting power of pure charity in a world full of "quid pro quo" deals. This unprecedented deed, which aims to guarantee free tuition for all students moving forward, not only exemplifies the value of selfless giving but also acts as a contemporary counterpart to the biblical story of the widow's mite, reminding us of the significant influence our contributions, no matter how small, can have.
