In better times I gave a fair amount of charity. $1,000.00 to Chinuch Atzmai, $1.000.00 to Square Town, $1,000.00 to Oorah, $1,000 a year to each Yeshiva that I went to. Then there was $100.00 to the average meshulach.
Times were good and I had plenty of money. I spent the money on glamorous charities who gave me alot of Kovod in exchange for donations and had exciting promotions. I only once gave Matan B’Seyser a check, that was for four hundred dollars.
