Description:

Do the halachos and secular laws regarding false advertising apply to organizations raising tzedakah? Are promises by the charity a permitted form of advertising? Should a charity require a minimum payment in order to get a beracha? Is it better to daven for yourself, or have someone else daven for you? Do the ends justify the means? Can puffery/manipulation be used in ads for the purpose of raising tzedakah for the genuinely needy? Do the following claims (for example) violate Halacha and/or secular law?

  1. Those who donate $480 “Will marry off their own children with Ease, with Health, Nachas and Great Simcha.”
  2. “They should be saved from all hardship and disease. They and all their family should have long lives and an abundance of parnassah, easily.”
  3. “It should protect them from all hardships. Their income should be doubled. And they should have nachas from all of their descendants.”
