Meno:
You missed the point. If this is your question, then your comment would be interpreted as implying the need to re-educate Klal Yisroel to redirect all tzedokoh funds to yeshivos and kollelim, and to render all others secondary. That thought frightens me greatly, and I doubt you will find any support for such an idea, not in any reputable Torah sources, nor among Gedolei Hador.
My message was that there is a wealth of tzedokoh being given, and no one needs more education on the subject. Yeshivos and other Torah related causes are recipients of generous support from the entire Klal. No one doubts that the needs are greater than the proceeds they get. But it is bizarre to think that there is education that will alter what is already going on. Either such education won’t work, or it looks for non-existent monies. It is probably also inconsistent with the halachos of tzedokoh as in Shulchan Aruch and Rambam. I would put you to the challenge to demonstrate, with Torah references, that one must divert tzedokoh from all other causes to Torah institutions.
