In this week's Parshah the Torah relates that when the women brought donations for the construction of the Mishkan, their husbands came with them. The Sifsei Chachamim (35:22, quoting the Nachlas Yaakov) explains that since according to the Halacha, married women may not give donations to Tzedaka without their husbands' permission, it was necessary for the husbands to accompany the women who brought donations, to confirm that they were aware of the gifts and had given their consent.
This week's Journal will explore some details of the Halacha that forbids collecting charity from married women without their husbands' consent.
