I knew there would be this question. This is the same question asked every time you hear so and so made a wedding for $1MM. “Couldn’t he have made a wedding for $200k? $50k? and given the rest to tzedaka?!?” Yes, yes he could have, but that’s none of your business. You don’t know how much he gives to tzedaka, and even if that number was not up to your approval, it is still none of your business. Now back to the presidential fundraiser, this is the first time in history a US sitting president is so openly pro Israel and the Jews as a whole, showing support for the president is a huge Kiddush HaShem and also an investment by the “big players” in terms of networking… You don’t get too much higher up on the totem pole than the POTUS. No one needs rabbinical permission to spend “sushi money” (thanks Joseph!) It is a tremendous chilul HaShem that the left oppose him so much.
