This is something I keep thinking about as well.<BR/>Endowments are great, but people delude themselves into thinking that endowments are an invulnerable means of safeguarding their legacy.The Rebbetzin's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977193945074906534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-55700085518045104932008-12-17T09:36:00.000-05:002008-12-17T09:36:00.000-05:00Pardon the inappropriateness of this question, and...Pardon the inappropriateness of this question, and me, if necessary; Should Jewish Charities be sitting on so much funding?
