Ohhhhh - it looks beautiful. But are we not to refrain from sweepstakes or gambling. How could I offer a tithe on that beautiful place if I won.

OTOH, I have been searching on the internet for an affordable place to rent in Jerusalem for about $1,000/month and larger than 400 sq. ft. Ha ha ha! Maybe $360 would be a better investment.

Well it is a raffle designed to help a charitable cause - so if you think of it as just giving tzedakah (charity) with the "possibility" of a reward. Then is it a sweepstakes or gambling?

will not get involved in online "sweepstakes" - any "free" giveaway that asks for money up front is a fraud ;) and I'm darn tootin' not giving such a site my financial information!

Oh, I like this idea. My charitable donation could qualify me for a flat in Jerusalem. OK - I'm going to check it out. :clap:

edited to add: Oops, I will check it out further - like read the fine print! :(
