11/23/24 – Shiur 491 – Do we need to give when collectors ask for Tzedakah? What if it’s during davening, or a solicitation via mail or email?

JL;DR SUMMARY The episode delves into the complex questions surrounding the responsibility of giving tzedakah, or charity, especially when confronted by potentially inauthentic or undeserving collectors.
