Many years ago I received a solicitation from an organization collecting funds to purchase Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin for those who could not afford to purchase it on their own. It bothered me that this was considered Tzedaka. After a long talk with my Rav I changed my tune. Suffice to say, there are priorities in Tzedaka and this may not ran near the top of priorities. With your tzedaka dollars, ask your Rav for the best way to distribute them according to the priorities set down in halacha.
