Caren,
I found myself in a semi-uncomfortable situation in dealing with one of the Jewish causes applications. I was asked by a friend to forward the cause application to many friends. The application also asked for donations. Now I have no problem saying yes or no when solicited, but I am pretty sure from talking to a few of my friends, that they don’t want to be solicited through Facebook or made to feel guilty about not forwarding things/causes that all “good Jews” should support.
