Please take out the word Jewish from UJA.
Silly comment, UJA does much for the community including the frum. Their CEO is Orthodox and now Mr. Leb. They work more in the frum communities in the past years and it seems will continue to do so moving forward. Millions if dollars poured into frum communities after Hurricane Sandy.
#2, my rav told me one CANNOT use masser money for UJA or of its affiliated orgs, off its crazy couple hundred million budget, 1 million goes to frum causes, the rest to “minority” “disenfranchised” “low income” “disadvantaged” populations. It does NOT represent the frum velt whatsoever, lehavdil Cardinal Dolan shares more of our values.
