In popular parlance, the weekly portion allotted to the local poor; also charity in general. The word "ḳiẓbah," in New Hebrew (Pes. 71b), connected with the Biblical Hebrew "ḳeẓeb" (Jonah 2:7), means "limit," so used of the toll (B. Ḳ. 113a) and of God's infiniteness (e.g.,"There is no limit to Thy years," in the "Musaf" prayer for New-Year). Lampronti does not give the word, nor does it occur in the older legal literature contained in the Shulḥan 'Aruk.
