Lila Corwin Berman

In the past, I have concluded a lecture about American Jewish philanthropy with a plea for a reinvigorated public: “Where are the people?” If listeners have stuck with me this far, through my explanations of tax-law reform in the late 1960s and of the emergence of new financial vehicles for holding and investing philanthropic capital, then they know just where I am going. Tax policy, investment and endowment practices, and financial language have empowered the philanthropic sector, and especially its biggest donors, to act with only the most perfunctory regard for the public. And yet, dollar for dollar, the state and the public subsidize American philanthropy through tax deductions and exemptions. So instead of feeling cowed by altruism, I tell my listeners, you should feel empowered as an owner of American philanthropy to demand transparency and speak out when you think it is not doing the right thing. Living today in a country that elected Donald Trump to its highest public office, I worry that my call for the public to take back some of the power it has granted to the philanthropic sector may be misguided and even dangerous. My pre-Trump understanding of the historical formation of the American public and philanthropy (and the Jewish subsector of each) may be inadequate in this new era of Trump. Below, I sketch the frameworks that have guided my research into Jewish philanthropy and explain how Trump’s election has caused me to reassess them. Most important, I question whether the critical

特朗普时代的美国犹太慈善情结

过去,我结束了一场关于美国犹太慈善事业的演讲,呼吁重振公众:“人民在哪里?” 如果听众一直听我说完,通过我对 1960 年代后期税法改革的解释以及用于持有和投资慈善资本的新金融工具的出现,那么他们就知道我要去哪里。税收政策、投资和捐赠实践以及金融语言使慈善部门,尤其是其最大的捐助者能够以最敷衍公众的态度采取行动。然而,一美元一美元,国家和公众通过减税和免税来补贴美国的慈善事业。所以我没有被利他主义吓倒,而是告诉我的听众,作为美国慈善事业的所有者,您应该感到有能力要求透明度并在您认为它做的不对时大声疾呼。今天生活在一个选举唐纳德特朗普担任最高公职的国家,我担心我呼吁公众收回它授予慈善部门的一些权力可能会被误导,甚至是危险的。在特朗普的这个新时代,我对美国公众和慈善事业(以及每个人的犹太子部门)的历史形成的理解在特朗普之前可能是不够的。下面,我绘制了向犹太慈善事业进行了引导的框架,并解释了特朗普的选举使我重新评估它们。最重要的是,我质疑关键 今天生活在一个选举唐纳德特朗普担任最高公职的国家,我担心我呼吁公众收回其授予慈善部门的一些权力可能会被误导,甚至是危险的。在特朗普的这个新时代,我对美国公众和慈善事业(以及每个人的犹太子部门)的历史形成的理解在特朗普之前可能是不够的。下面,我绘制了向犹太慈善事业进行了引导的框架,并解释了特朗普的选举使我重新评估它们。最重要的是,我质疑关键 今天生活在一个选举唐纳德特朗普担任最高公职的国家,我担心我呼吁公众收回它授予慈善部门的一些权力可能会被误导,甚至是危险的。在特朗普的这个新时代,我对美国公众和慈善事业(以及每个人的犹太子部门)的历史形成的理解在特朗普之前可能是不够的。下面,我绘制了向犹太慈善事业进行了引导的框架,并解释了特朗普的选举使我重新评估它们。最重要的是,我质疑关键 在特朗普的这个新时代,我对美国公众和慈善事业(以及每个人的犹太子部门)的历史形成的理解在特朗普之前可能是不够的。下面,我绘制了向犹太慈善事业进行了引导的框架,并解释了特朗普的选举使我重新评估它们。最重要的是,我质疑关键 在特朗普的这个新时代,我对美国公众和慈善事业(以及每个人的犹太子部门)的历史形成的理解在特朗普之前可能是不够的。下面,我绘制了向犹太慈善事业进行了引导的框架,并解释了特朗普的选举使我重新评估它们。最重要的是,我质疑关键
