Hi,
"And all of the wise people who were performing the sacred tasks, each one from his own work, came to Moshe and told him: The nation is bringing a lot more than is needed for the work of each task Gd has instructed us to perform!
"And Moshe instructed, and a message was passed through the camp, saying: Each man and woman should not do more for the task of donating sacred property! And the nation stopped bringing.
(Exodus 36:4-6)
Perhaps, one day, our tzedakah funds and Federation campaigns will be in the same position - but based on Deuteronomy 15:11, not necessarily...
Have a great day,
Mordechai
