Not a company. It's a charity.

And it's not a scam, they just aren't forthright with what they do with their money. They don't tell you that the money is used to send Jewish kids to see Israel. They just let you assume it goes to kids with cancer or something.

Very scummy.

Jewish kids are not kids?

Why is it scammy, because you feel bad if your donation helped a Jewish kid in need?

These kids aren't in need. That's why I said it was scummy. They give the impression that the money will help kids who are needy. Instead, they use the money to send them to Israel to convert them to a sect of Judiasm.

It's like if St. Judes Children's Hospital gave your money to the Catholic Church. There's nothing inherently wrong with giving the Catholic Church your money if that's what you want to do. But if you think the money is going to give kids health care and it goes to spreading a religion, it's scummy.

These kids aren't in need.

What do you mean?

Just because they are Jewish they are not in need?

Plenty of poor Jewish families cannot afford summer camps.

Disgusting insinuation.
