Reply To: Matanas L'evyonim

While the CR hotly debates the above questions that remain still unanswered after over two days of significant input, allow me please to pose 2 additional related questions:

If I give a Rov a $100 bill to distribute as Matanas L’evyonim, can I be yotze giving 2 aniyam Matanas L’evyonim? (Even though it is possible the Rov may give the $100 to one person or he may give it to more than one. He may even deposit it, and later distribute from combined funds.)

Can a person give the Rov one Matanas L’evyonim sum and have in mind for it to cover both his and his wife’s Matanas L’evyonim obligations?
