The Mashgiach Says He Cannot Promise Yeshu'os, but the Mitzvah Can
by A. Ben Avigdor
A unique letter written and publicized recently by the Mashgiach, HaRav Don Segal shlita has elicited much attention and repercussion. It was written as a response to what appeared in an advertisement appearing in the U.S. involving the Mercaz HaTaharah which is under his auspices and supervision. It gives the impression that the Mashgiach himself is conferring blessing and miracles to the donors.
When this came to his attention, the Mashgiach sought to set things straight and clear, for which he publicized a letter emphasizing that the wonders attributed to him as a promise and guarantee to donors to the organization were falsified, clarifying that only the mitzvah alone can effect wonders and promises, but this he can surely vouch for. He requested that the money donated on the so-called grounds of his guarantee should be returned to them for he cannot personally promise any such thing.
