frankly i have very mixed feelings when i get the calls-I wish that telemarketing had not hit the frum world – i don’t like the billions of chinese auctions, the phone calls, the ninty letters per day-i even find it very hard when i am downstairs doing laundry to run upstairs three times because the meshulachim think they will do better if they come separately. and then of course i remind myself – we are am yisroel, we are here to give, hashem doesn’t send us anything more than we can handle, and i end up smiling and saying – thank you Hashem that i am the one giving and not receiving –
