@ Syag, Commonsense, and Naftush: Thanks so much for your insightful posts. I wish more people would see things that way.

@WIY: Giving clothing in excellent condition is a slap in the face? Excuse me? These were items that were barely used. As I said in my first post – good Shabbos coats, Shabbos robes and other things that were definitely in good condition and nobody should be ashamed to wear them! I would never give them old, torn, worn out things.

@Poster: I really don’t think your story with the Rav applies here. In your story the Rav was better. In this situation, people are still in need. Nobody told us they had enough new clothes and didn’t need used. They just said they were not accepting used. If they feel it’s taking away their dignity, then that’s their problem. I am from New York and I hate to say this – but this shows their snobby attitude.
