This sugya will focus on accepting charity and donations from non-Jewish sources (governments, organizations, and individuals).  Chazal discuss the various scenarios that may arise, and the reasons why certain monies may be accepted or should be discouraged. 

• Chilul Hashem – accepting money from a non-Jew may imply that Jews are unable or unwilling to take care of their own.
• Non-Jewish religious sources – there is a debate amongst the poskim as to whether one is permitted to accept donations from idolaters.
• Donations vs charity.
• Donations given privately vs public contributions.
• Government-assistance programs.
• Donations to institutions (Shuls, Yeshivos etc.) vs personal donations.

And more.
