A third of America's biggest donors are Jewish

Bloomberg, who donated over 1 million shekels to rebuild Israel's north and $44 million to the Magen David Adom health emergency service, continued to solidify his position at the top of the 50 biggest American philanthropists with donations totaling $3.7 billion, twice as much as the amount donated by the second billionaire named on the list, Netflix founder Wilmot Reed Hastings Jr. who with his wife, Patricia, donated close to $1.6 million in the past year.

  1. So serious question: how many of them have Jewish children? In my community, a couple of generations ago there was one family that was quiet wealthy, as in "Put my name on the building I just donated" wealthy. Almost all the kids married out and the grandkids aren't Jews and our community no longer has such a rich family.
    So what happens a generation from now in the US?

    1. Many Jewish organizations (and many yeshivot and other mosdot) fail to do "succession planning", sometimes on purpose, in denial of the future.

      By the way, Bloomberg himself married a shiksa, and his daughters do not identify as Jewish anyway.
