Just trust in Hashem. <br /><br />Which shows what the real problem is. If the Rosh Yeshivot and Menahalim would follow that advice, then everything would be alright. By going out and collecting, and making declarations such at the Agudah Convention, they are torpedoing any possibility of Hashgacha.<br /><br />Note that the Michtav Me'Eliyahu faced a similar conundrum and solved it by positing that the only reason to collect for torah was to allow the donors to share in the great mitzva. Otherwise, it would be a p'gam in bitachon.<br /><br />My personal approach: I give what I can [and yes, I do "waste" a few hundred dollars a year on personal, non-essential items], and the rest of the time I feel miserable watching the self-contradictory thrashing-about of much of the Olam HaTorah. And no, when I say miserable I don't refer to the core "miser." great Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728976902210831137noreply@blogger.com
