Reply To: Are we tarnishing our Mitzvos with falsehood?

@inquisitive girl:
I usually try to just donate $18 or so anonymously and tell the one who sent me the link that I gave anonymously. I can’t always get away with that, because the way these fundraisers are structured; the whole point is the pressure.
It’s quite unbelievable how shnorrering from family & friends has become socially acceptable.
I think it’s disgusting and wrong. Everyone knows you’re only donating because of the social pressure. What kind of tzedaka is that?
