意思
Someone with a good heart.
文化背景
Kindness is often measured by how one treats guests. A 'Deg Sew' is expected to offer food and water to anyone who knocks. The concept of 'Deg' is linked to 'Tsedek' (righteousness). Almsgiving is a core expression of being a 'Deg Sew'. In the city, 'Deg Sew' is often used for honest taxi drivers or people who return lost items. In the diaspora, being a 'Deg Sew' involves helping newcomers integrate and find jobs.
