Hi,
"Rabbah ordered that tzedakah be collected from the estates of the orphans of Bar Maryon.
"Abbaye asked: Didn't Rav Shemuel bar Yehudah teach that one may not levy tzedakah taxes upon orphans, even for the sake of redeeming captives?
"Rabbah replied: I am doing this in order to give them communal honor."
(Talmud, Bava Batra 8a)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
