common, I understand. I am still not sure how ti distinguish between those who are unable and those who are unwilling or confused in their middos. We used to have kahalim that will provide support – upon investigation. Otherwise, this becomes lifnei ever. A guy travels around to raise funds for his firstborn, and think, great this worked, I’ll do the same for the rest.. If he were to have it hard time, maybe he’ll go get a job… I am not advocating refusing tzedokah, but these community policy questions exist even if refuse to acknowledge them.
