Overview

"This book is about "tzedakah," the "righteousness that is charity." Dr.Jacob Neusner presents the Jewish sources from Talmud to Maimonides, and raises issues important to all segments of American Jewry. Can Jewish philanthropy mold a future made up not only of "good" works, but of holy works? Or has the emphasis on giving and on "checkbook Judaism," split the community into religious end secular camps? This is a surprising and positive assessment, a tribute to those who give of their time and effort, their intelligence and leadership, to worthy Jewish causes.
