Question
Hello, if the community wants a certain person to become a charity collector, is he obligated to do so?
Answer
Hello,
He should become a charity collector, and his reward is great, as in the mitzvah of charity, the act is greater than the doer.
[However, each case should be considered individually, and it is advisable for him to consult with a rabbi who knows him].
