Adrienne Gold Davis sits down with Momentum CEO Tara Brown to reframe tzedakah not as charity, but as a core expression of Jewish identity, leadership, and purpose.
Together, they unpack why a generation of committed givers often directs that energy elsewhere, and how Jewish mothers are uniquely positioned to change that.
Drawing on personal stories and Jewish wisdom, Tara and Adrienne show how giving, done right, is dignified, purposeful, and transformative for both the giver and the community.
Adrienne shares how we can focus on the beauty around us, instead of on ourselves.
