Are the facts right in this article? Are the panhandlers the windshield cleaning type, or are the panhandlers the Jews who are poor, who have a letter from a rabbi saying that they really are poor, and come to you right after minyan asking for contributions? Usually, the latter group has to get permission from the synagogue rabbi to come in and ask for assistance.

This is an easy article to write, having the wrong information.
