6498 – On Accepting Restitution from Non-Jews and Giving Charity – על קבלת פיצויים מן העכו"ם ונתינת צדקה

The Rebbe writes that since restitution payments have been public for years, accepting them does not strengthen the wrongdoers. One should claim the full amount due, then give a fifth to charity. This charity does not grant merit to the payers, as they are merely returning what was stolen. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/017/012/6498
