Q. I lead a group that is building a new shul and of course most of the work involved is raising the funds needed. From experience we know that it is easier to get contributions when a name is given to an important article to be acquired, such as the Aron Hakodesh, Bimah etc. Is it correct to try to attach a donors name to other common items such as rows of seats, shtenders and even carpets?
A. Horav Dovid Pam Shlit'a maintains that it is propitious to attach donors names to all items contributed. The source is the Remah (Y.D. H. Tzedaka)
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit'a.
