Donation receipt
Hello Rabbi,
I placed a box in the synagogue where I pray for donations to a charity. The box has accumulated a nice amount and I am transferring it to the charity. Am I allowed to ask the charity to make the receipt for the amount in my name (so that I can receive a tax refund on it)?
Is there fraud/plagiarism here on the part of the donors from the synagogue?
Is there theft of the state here (since ostensibly the purpose of tax refunds on donations is to encourage people to donate, whereas here I received a refund even though I did not donate)
thanks
