Abstract:

Giving charity is a core value in the Jewish religion and has been central to Jewish community survival throughout the ages. The Hebrew word for charity (tzedakah) is closely related to the word for justice (tzedek) and is seen as a core part of community life. Similarly, volunteering and engaging in community affairs has had a long history in Jewish communities throughout history. Charity and volunteering are thus key values in Israeli society. In a survey conducted in 1998 it was found that 72% of the adult Jewish population in Israel contributes to the community with either money or volunteering (Katz et al. 2007).
