Ol' Dirty Money
What does Judaism say about accepting “dirty” money? A listener has been watching the online debate about how her alma mater should handle money from a prominent donor associated with Jeffery Epstein. She asks how does Jewish tradition handle this moral predicament? And at what point are institutions complicit spiritually and ethically when they accept tainted funds?
Rabbi Shira and Hanna talk about when tzedakah becomes murky and how to be accountable morally and practically.
