How local kids make a sales pitch in 90 seconds posted on social media.
I actually find it offputting to see our kids schnorring en masse. More distressing are the schools and organizations that weaponize our kids with the promise of some prize. There's something crass about it, not to mention possibly teaching them that begging is an ok model for life potentially. It's a far cry from legitimate tzedakah fundraising and business investing.
ReplyDeleteYup and my kids don't see it as "helping their yeshiva". They actually call it "collecting for a prize". In my value system this is not positive chinuch.
DeleteStrongly Agree with both
DeleteI would be turned off if I’m giving someone a free ride and then he asks for money. I’m not the type of guy who doesn’t give rides, I always carry cash on me in case I meet someone collecting tzedoka. Even so if I’m doing you a favor and stopping to give you a ride please don’t make this ride uncomfortable by asking for more than the favor we agreed on.
ReplyDeleteMaskim. Aggressively hitch, then aggressively schnorr. You dont get to double dip.
Deletewhy are the schools collecting if they they are making so much money from tuition? according to to my estimation they should mostly be have big surpluses..
ReplyDeleteif people thinks the Rosh mosdos are pocketing money, why doesnt everyone open a mosed and become rich?
DeleteNot everyone is willing to sacrifice the chinuch of our children in order to enrich themselves.
DeleteWhy need to enrich yourself. Just charge much less tuition and don't make money. You will have thousands of parents waiting to get in to your school that charges half the tuitions and has the same quality rrbeim and teachers .
DeleteYour comment about enriching yourself makes no sense. The question was why don't you make a school without pocketing money and don't enrich yourself. According to you ,yiu can Greek even with much less tuition so why are you and many others not doing it ?
Deletehere we go with the Rosh Mosed bashing...
DeleteHow much of our chinuch is really based on torah values? Like this collecting, it should not be on our children's agenda.
ReplyDeletecollecting tzedaka is a mitzva
DeleteTaking from othes is never a good thing
DeleteWhat mitzva?
Deleteגדול המעשה יותר מן העושה
DeleteGive me a break
DeleteThat would be when going out collecting for another.
& without benefits or going for ulterior motives

ReplyDeleteSo the Nassi and the fakewood poop found another thing to poop on besmirching our yeshivos in order to get clicks by hiding behind a letter from gedolim.
ReplyDeleteOh and they will give free advertising on the billboard if they follow the demands of the poop. The same gedolim said thr billborfs should be banned and taken down.
The cynical 'prize' of the scoop is beyond contempt.
ReplyDeleteThey are giving absolutely nothing away, an ad campaign costs them literally nothing, and they are making 'announcements'.
Why does a Yeshiva need a billboard campaign?
