Listen "Tzdakah and Charity and in the 21st Century (S1, E6)"
Episode Synopsis
The principle of Tzdakah carries various interpretations. For some, it evokes memories of Hebrew School, where the Tzedakah coin box made its rounds. However, in today's world, there are more profound methods of giving that surpass the traditional coin offerings. With recent catastrophic events like the wildfires in Hawaii, the importance and urgency of Tzedakah have never been clearer. Yet, as people distance themselves from organized religious affiliations, sustaining such donations grows challenging. In this episode of "Judaism in the 21st Century", we delve into Tzedakah's significance through the lens of decision architecture, Behavioral Economics, and structured decision design.
Join Rabbi Daniel Cohen and Dr. Steven Labkoff this week as they explore innovative approaches, rooted in behavioral economic theories, to reintroduce Tzedakah into our daily existence and ensure we're prepared for unforeseen disasters.
