The counter-opinion, penned by Rabbi Feivel Mashinsky, laments the "New Age of Giving" and he quotes the words of the Klausenberger Rebbe, ZT'L from 40 years ago, woe is to us, that today the only way to extract money from the wealthy is through lavish dinners and bestowing honor on the unworthy" While there are reputable Torah authority figures who support each position, One cannot disagree with the sentiment that today, the act of Tzedakah giving is focused on the givers (and what suits their wishes) and not on the receivers, who are but an afterthought. In fact, the Gemara (Kesubos 67b) says that from the "extra" words "whatever is lacking to him," we learn that if the poor person was accustomed to having a fancy horse to ride on (or other such luxuries,) we should do our best to accommodate and restore them to their original state. The reality is that by giving to others we benefit more than they do in terms of merits and self-perfection; we become like Hashem, but only when we have in mind to benefit them and not be involved in the Tzedakah process with the agenda to aggrandize/profit ourselves. On the morning of the wedding day, the bride received a phone call from Rabbi Binyamin Klein, secretary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, informing her:"For spiritual reasons, the Rebbe will hold the farbrengen a day earlier than planned - tonight, the night of your wedding. Your sheva brochos will be held on the Rebbe's farbrengen!" And Rabbi Majeski promised her to stay at the wedding until the end, and also relayed the promise of Rabbi Sholom-Ber Levitin of Seattle, the groom's rabbi, that he too would stay until the bride decided that the wedding was over. Shortly thereafter, the Rebbe left his 2 9 CHEVRUTAH24.7 WhatsApp : +1(347) 770-1502 EducationOnTheGo.net THO] office to drive home, got into his car, and the driver had already turned on the ignition, but at that moment the Rebbe noticed out of the corner of his eye that the bride and groom had just left the retreat room. The word "Elul" is often interpreted as the initial letters of the words of a very famous verse that is printed on wedding invitations and various decorations: ‘Ani leedoidi vedoidi li - | belong to my beloved and my beloved belongs to me." This is a verse from the Song of Songs (Shir fashirim, 6: 3),
