Jewish tradition teaches: “A generous person enjoys prosperity, and one who gives to others will himself be sated” (Proverbs 11:25). Despite this biblical wisdom, however, the process of charitable giving has, unfortunately grown more complicated, and countless legal or tax elements may dissuade individuals who might otherwise choose to give. The estate, tax and financial experts on our panel are ready to address any questions or concerns you may have about charitable giving, both during and/or after your lifetime. If you have thought about charitable giving and want to be a bridge builder, this program is for you.
