 These tough economic times make it especially important that we squeeze as much good out of every tzedakah dollar as possible. Therefore, I'm particularly grateful to Congregation Ohab Zedek and to Beth Sholom Congregation and Talmud Torah for sponsoring programs that will help to educate donors do just that. In my session on how to evaluate tzedakot, I hope to share information about web resources, mistakes donors make in evaluating charities, how those mistakes can give charities the wrong incentives, what Jewish tradition has to say about the need for due diligence in giving, and what to look for in taking the measure of a tzedakah. Below is the full program at Congregation Ohab Zedek.
Congregation Ohab Zedek 118 West 95th Street New York For further details, see the Ohab Zedek website If you're interested in setting up a program like this one at your congregation or other organization, send me an email. Just scroll all the way down and click on my name. |
