Charitable giving and philanthropic behavior are frequently the subject of media reports and newspaper headlines. Examining the incentives and barriers to charitable behavior, Dashefsky and Lazerwitz account for such giving by members of the Jewish community. A discussion of motivations for charitable giving, Charitable Choices relies on quantitative and qualitative data in one religio-ethnic community.
Dashefsky and Lazerwitz have amassed a treasure trove of information, both quantitative and qualitative, that enables the reader to understand not only who makes donations to Jewish charities and philanthropies, but why they give. The implications of their findings and the models they have constructed to explain them go well beyond the Jewish communities to just about any voluntary organization that relies on charitable giving for its lifeblood. -- William V.
