Detroit, that totaled sever-
al hundred dollars.
Rabbi Wolmark took the
checks and left.
As soon as the mishu-
loch arrived at the Mer-
kaz office, the confronta-
tion began. Rabbi Wol-
mark said he had no inten-
tion of cashing the checks
— that they all were being
returned. He also told the
mishuloch to get out of
Detroit and not come back.
Meanwhile, the mishu-
loch's driver, who he had
hired in New York, was
furious. Clad in a black
leather jacket, he said he
was not about to leave
without money (drivers
receive a cut of the mishu-
loch's collected funds).
Rabbi Wolmark would
not budge. Not only did he
tell the mishuloch to
leave, he warned the dri-
ver, "If I catch you again
driving people like this

around you won't be
allowed in this city."
After about 10 minutes
of screaming, the driver
and mishuloch finally left.
This is the most dramat-
ic, but not the first case of
a fraudulent mishuloch
nabbed by the Merkaz.
Last year, Rabbi Wolmark
stopped a man who
claimed to be collecting
funds for his indigent fam-
ily. When the rabbi con-
tacted the man's daughter,
"she said she hadn't heard
from him in years."
Rabbi Wolmark says he
believes this latest mishu-
loch "will pack out of town
shortly. At least that's my
hope."
Either way, he'll be
without his Merkaz letter.
That document has been
cut, neatly, into four
pieces, and sent out with
the trash. ❑
