Did R’ Moshe say that if I give money to the neighbor who needs it it is less tzedaka than if I put it into a R’ Meir Ball Haness pushka? Please do not twist my words or delve into them as if you were learning a Shaages Aryeh. Sometimes the simple meaning is what is meant. All I said is, tzedaka is tzedaka. It is no more, or no less tzedaka than if the name of a tzadik is on the pushka or his picture appears in an advertisement for the cause.
