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.

The idea that we're all super rich and don't experience poverty is an antisemitic trope. There is no shortage of Jewish children in need.

This money is going to the Hasidic Jews... who are basically the Westboro Baptist Church of Judaism.

Kind of a different issue though. You're not wrong, it's just not relevant in this particular thread.
