A meshulach from an organization that considers itself Jewish came into my office the other day and was badgering us for tzedaka while we were trying to work. Someone tried giving him a dollar and he refused it, showing us a check from another “working balabos” and saying he won’t take less than $18. I told him that someone had come collecting for the same institution just a few weeks ago and he denied it. Then I told him that I already get emails from his institution and that I would prefer to give through Rabbi Ploni’s Chinese Auction, so he tried to tell me he was collecting for something different than Rabbi Ploni. This guy had a lot of chutzpah.
