  1. Honestly they let whoever wants from EY come around and collect. All you need is a pulse and a heartbeat to get an isshur it became a free for all. They get free food from local eateries and Simchas. Some of them act like real animals and think that if we have no cash we have tons of credit cards loaded with millions of $$$. They think we’re money machines. However I do know some of them come from some real unfortunate circumstances. There needs to be a better vetting process.

    2. An old neighbor of mine told be she personally knows someone that comes to America every year since their children are born and collects for a down payment for an apartment for the newborn. Then they rent it out until the child gets married. By then, most if not all of the apartment is paid off. She said (years ago) that he already owned 7 apartments for their children by coming in and collecting hachnasas kallah. Since I heard that, even though I still give, I feel in my heart a feeling that I hope it's legit.

    3. 'Or you could just not give any of them.'
      You could be mechuyav to give. even a pittance, like a nickel

    4. Unbelievable how a Halacha is distorted. When people don't want to give Tzedaka, they say 'Aniyei Ircha'. Not that these people give a nickel to aniyei ircha either. It is just an excuse not to give.
      Sad how people are influenced so badly by the Goyim to hate Tzedaka.

  2. Scathing letters regarding the shidduch crisis and the age gap on several frum websites. It seems that the crisis is finally reaching a tipping point. The writers are requesting that people respectfully approach the roshei yeshiva over bain hazmanim and tell them what they and their daughters are going through. The deafening silence etc. Askonim are saying that this is the only way to get things moving. See Mr. Gary Barnett's plea at the end of this video https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=169104

  4. THERE IS NO SHIDDUCH CRISES

    Hashem already setup your sons and everyone else’s son/daughter zivug 40 days before they were even born. Forget about the fact that now they are holding at around 20 or so years later since they were born. Hashem has their zivug waiting for them and can send it to your son/daughter immediately but is just waiting for each person involved in shidduchim to do their RUCHNIUS hishtadlus of Bitachon and Emunah(faith and trust in Hashem) together with Tefillos/Prayers.

    Mrs. Seminary girl,/Mr. Learning/working boy Are YOU doing your RUCHNIUS hishtadlus? Not just your gashmius hishtadlus of dating and speaking to shadchanim etc….?

    Start turning directly to Hashem for help in all your needs, especially shidduchim that they say is a bigger miracle than the splitting of the Yam suf.

  6. Some have become very aggressive in shuls and harass older people disturbing them by davening to no end. There has to be a set of rules that are accepted you can't have a old yid bullied to no end with no there to look out for him.

    1. So the Gabbaim of the Shuls who see a super-aggressive Meshulach should approach his driver and tell him that he needs to stop bringing that meshulach. This is no excuse for the Sedom rule of no meshulachim.

    2. The biggest problem is with the young bochrim coming. They have a tendency to be very aggressive and many of them are up to no good. Who is sending them here unsupervised?

  7. I think it's time for tomche tzedaka to only authorize their own credit card machines, and have the ability to shutdown the machines if a user is found to be unworthy, and more than that, in an emergency situation to withhold funding too.

  8. It is said when someone told the sanzer rav he needed to check out the aniyim coming to him because they know about a faker who he gives to he replied "you rather withhold money from 9 worthy people so the one cheat doesn't get, I rather give 9 cheats so I won't have said no to the 1 poor man with them.
