Agreed on their commercials, at least those from a couple years ago. Trotting out the destitute old women in rags, their bodies bent and homes filthy (because these poor souls can hardly move anymore, elders like that can't be expected to clean their own homes) as they cry for the alms brought to them by the gently cooing head of that organization. It seemed as if they were using these unfortunate elders as props, gave me the creeps as well. All I could think of was wondering if she heads back to what I imagine is her multi million dollar home to take a dip in her luxury pool. (I don't know anything about her actual home).

The linked article goes into the fact that the founder, Yael's father, seems to have had an animosity towards the idea of Jesus and anyone who knows He's the Messiah - including other jews who believe so - which I find disturbing, but it's up to those who donate to assess whether they think this charity is worthy. In their defense they clearly state on their website that jews are the beneficiaries of people's donations. They are there to serve jews and, while I find it distasteful (assuming it's true) that they would walk past a suffering Christian - or a suffering atheist for that matter - and only cater to jews, that is their prerogative. Like all of us, they'll stand in front of the Lord one day for their judgement and only He knows what's in their hearts.

Most of the criticism of this charity seems to be for the salaries their leaders get paid, the lavish new headquarters they were building - and it damn sure didn't include housing for those commercial-ready, suffering elderly. Yael, at least, halted that project after her father's death, but not before they'd dumped $14M into it. $14M could go a long way to upgrading the lives of some of these suffering elderly jews who truly need assistance. New, warm clothing, help to clean and perhaps paint and do repairs in their living spaces, etc.

I'm with you in regards to charities as well. I used to give to St. Jude's and that's now stopped. I'll give at church and will hand money directly to people in need while passing on words from God, will donate goods locally, but the rest - no. No more. Until this cesspool of a world gets cleaned up, giving to "charity" is more than likely an exercise in virtue-signaling, lining some greedy marxist's pockets with more money while the causes they champion are left to wallow in stagnancy.

Open your heart a little for your so called Jewish enemies, just like everyone else, there are good and bad. Many of the younger generation Jews are Christian also. We ARE having a worldwide awakening, investigate that fact.
I ask that you not judge them in a way you do not want to be judged.
I now try to give directly to a person in need, there are so many that can use what you have stored away. I have way too much of the wrong stuff on hand and have been giving away as much as possible in the last couple months. I have bought a LOT of new stuff for my house to make it more joyful and sustainable. God got me through some times that were as low as you can get, he kept me from injury, my Angel has saved me from great damage more times than I even know. Love to you, as we all heal.
