However, the translation above looks accurate to me.<br /><br />But anyway I'm not sure that would be an issue - if they technically found or earned the money, but donate it all, they wouldn't owe more than the original sum. Maybe it would be relevant if they gave it to the meshulach as a personal present, but I don't think that's what they meant when pointing out that they could have kept it for themselves but instead did him a chessed.<br /><br />Perhaps the avreichim didn't realize he was collecting for a yeshiva versus hachnasas kallah for his daughter, etc. and therefore mistakenly suggested the money was in his reshus.MiriamSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-19234437890807553982013-01-28T01:18:22.915+02:002013-01-28T01:18:22.915+02:00I think the point is being missed. If they are all...I think the point is being missed. If they are allowed to keep it, and they give it back as a chesed then they have to give maaser on it.
