Jewish philanthropy

Jewish philanthropy refers to the tradition within the Jewish community of giving to charitable causes and supporting social welfare. Rooted in religious teachings, particularly the value of tikkun olam (repairing the world), it emphasizes responsibility towards others and community support. Jewish individuals and organizations often contribute to a wide range of causes, including education, healthcare, social justice, and disaster relief, both within and outside the Jewish community. Philanthropy can take various forms, from large donations and foundations to grassroots efforts, reflecting a long-standing commitment to social responsibility and community development.
