  8. A quotation from The Bible

    If your enemies are starving, feed them some bread;
       if they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
    By doing this, you will heap burning coals on their heads,
       and the Lord will reward you.

    The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
    Book 20. Proverbs 25:21ff (Prov 25:21-22) [CEB (2011)]

  9. "Every organization that fights #antisemitism has its own list of action items.

    The question remains: With all these groups fighting the same general problem, why is the problem getting alarmingly worse?

    It’s too facile to counter that things might be even worse without those efforts. Even if that were true, it’d be like saying that very bad is better than very very bad. Lame consolation.

    Maybe that’s why #BretStephens struck a nerve with his much-discussed “State of World #Jewry” address, when he called the fight against antisemitism a “well-meaning but mostly wasted effort.”

    We can debate whether that was an exaggeration (as I have), but we can’t deny that #Stephens put his finger on the most uncomfortable question in #philanthropy: Is my money making a difference?

    To put it more delicately, if we assume that we all want the same thing– reduce antisemitism while building a thriving #Jewish future—what is the best way to allocate resources?"
