cherrybim: I agree. In my opinion that anyone who can work and instead dedicates their life to torah and collecting tzdoka is going against the words of our Rabbanan in many places. Collecting for a one-time freak thing is ok, but to be somech on begging for children weddings 10 years from now -is completely non-jewish hashkafa.
Many of the chassidim, also come by my kollel to collect money for this and that. If they are learning in kollel, then stay in kollel. If they really really need the money and have to go begging, then anyways they’re not learning so why beg when you can do something decent and honest? Chas Ve Sholom they should be mevatel their begging to go to work…
