Purim Fundraising: Should Bachurim Be Calling and Texting Baaleibatim?
Feb 18, 2026·1 min read
As Purim approaches, many bachurim traditionally raise funds for their yeshivos and for tzedakah causes.
In recent years, however, particularly post-Covid, the method has increasingly shifted from groups to phone calls and text messages to baaleibatim in the weeks leading up to Purim.
Is this a positive evolution in fundraising, or does it cross a line?
Should bachurim be calling and texting baaleibatim before Purim for donations, or should clearer boundaries be set?
Should the yeshivos keep the fundraising strictly to Purim?
