Abstract:
American Jewish institutional investment in low-income community and economic development is a new realm for Jewish institutional tzedakah that is both informed by traditional Jewish concepts and serves to build bridges between the Jewish and non-Jewish communities. The Tzedek/Justice Economic Development Campaign facilitates partnerships between Jewish institutions and community-controlled community development financial institutions.
