Reply To: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews

RE, there are six explanations in Tosafot. One is that it is talking about false converts. This also Rashi’s opinion. Another is that they become so frum they embarrass born Jews. Another explanation is that it is very difficult to be careful about the mitzvot regarding their treatment. In fact, I heard that when Rav Scheinberg heard that a talmid in the yeshiva was a ger he trembled with fear. The Maharshal points out that in many times and places it was illegal and even punishable by death.
