Description

Time and money as donatable items -- Supposing limited funds, do we prioritize more for one person or diversify and less for many? -- Less for many and the reasons of Rambam versus Bach. -- The sources of imiatatio dei and "love thy fellow" as the basis of the dispute. -- Nafka minas: In charge of communal fund, is there still a consideration of imitatio dei? If there is only one poor person, better to give in increments or all at once? -- How a gabbai tzedaka must maintain appearance of equitability. -- Personal priority is to relatives first, communal is davka not. -- Reasons to prioritize family -- Being close to family as imitatio dei -- Avraham and the medrash of God praising him for burial of his wife as an emphasis on family chesed.
