However, even if someone were to give a name, we wouldn't post it for obvious reasons.<br /> Hatzlocha, David Bar-Magen, we hope to hear soon that your situation has improved. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/anyone-know-of-any-baalei-tzedaka-in-the-brooklyn-area#post-509410 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 08:15:01 +0000 The little I know 509410@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>I am neither minimizing the need for assistance, nor do I in any way mock the mitzvah of tzedokoh. I am among many who is appalled at the abuse of one of our greatest mitzvos - the collecting of tzedokoh - that has superseded the main activioty in most every shul in the heavy concentrations of frum population. Every schnorrer endows himself with the privilege of disturbing mispallelim, regardless of where in davening they are at, with requests for tzedokoh. In reality, the poskim address this issue, and the unanimous piskei denim are that it is ossur to disturb someone in the middle of tefilo or kriyas haTorah. We have now seen the CR become a place for solicitation of tzedokoh. Again, without minimizing the mitzvah or the unfortunate situation , I question whether this is the place for this. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/anyone-know-of-any-baalei-tzedaka-in-the-brooklyn-area#post-509405 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 07:23:38 +0000 David Bar-Magen 509405@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>HaLeiVi: Yes.
