Who among us isn’t aware of the gulf between what is and what should be?

Jewish Daily Forward

Time for a better breakdown? Is this how you think American Jewish donors should allocate their billions?

As a scrappy online Jewish magazine focused on social justice, arts & culture, spirituality and pushing boundaries, we have some pronounced views. And we know you do too.

A recent study in the Forward – which hosts and supports Zeek, but from which we have total editorial independence – is asking for feedback on the findings of its phenomenal new Jewish study, reported by Josh Nathan-Kazis. The study lays out how Jewish philanthropists and charities spend their money, based on tax reports of 3,600 American Jewish nonprofits. The findings? Some 38% of funds go to Israel-centric programs, 13% to arts and culture and a mere 6% to advocacy. Is that as it should be?

So this is your chance. Take the one-minute poll right now and tell them how and where you would spend Jewish billions.
