Why twenty

Jewish tradition asks us to give a tenth. The sages set the generous upper mark at a fifth, and that became our name and the bar we hold ourselves to.

In Usha they enacted that one who gives to charity should give up to a fifth.Talmud, Ketubot 50a
How we give

Maimonides taught that the highest tzedakah helps a person become self-sufficient. So we fund job skills and the people who walk families back onto their feet.

The highest level is to strengthen someone before they fall, until they no longer need to ask.Maimonides, Gifts to the Poor 10:7

Education

Education is the longest lasting gift we know. We support Jewish schools and great teachers, and help with tuition when families can't.

Social services

When a family hits a rough patch, we back the people who quietly step in with groceries and rent help. We also help families celebrate simchas with dignity when money is tight.
