Who’s Watching the Money?

This episode examines why transparency and accountability are essential to the moral credibility of Jewish charitable organizations. Drawing on public financial filings and documented statements, it explains why asking hard questions is neither smearing nor anti-Jewish, but a necessary responsibility to the community. The discussion challenges the notion that good intentions excuse misleading practices, highlights the lack of consistent oversight in parts of the nonprofit world, and addresses the media’s reluctance to scrutinize influential charities. Ultimately, it argues that true tzedakah depends on honesty, clear governance, and accountability, because trust in charitable giving must be earned through facts, not assumed.
