Haleivi. I’m not belittling the tana or those who choose to honor the tanna by supplying mashke to those partying at his kever (although in my opinion, as small as it is, it is a shanda the way many people carry on in meron on lag baomer). I’m saying that I choose to honor the tanna by giving tzedaka to my neighbor.
As to how much money I’ve given for my neighbor (not one specific person, but those in the neighborhood who need, who are given via the local Rav), if you really must know, if Chai Rotel is $125 I’d say on a yearly basis about 12-15 chai rotels.
