Q. Due to the very high price of Matza this year some Tzedaka institutions offer subsidized Matza for the ones in need that can’t afford them. If one was offered by a friend some leftovers that he bought at a special discount, can he accepted them or is that morally wrong? If he did accept them what should he now do?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is not correct to use Tzedaka subsidies when one does not need them. If he accepted the Matzos, he should try to compensate the institution for the difference in price.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit’a
