  1. I am not sure that I understand why there needs to be a separate Jewish initiative in this. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet haven’t made any pre-conditions on the priorities of any of the other signers, and any examination of the list of existing signers reveals a very diverse group. Why re-invent the wheel? There is so much accumulated knowledge and experience accrued in the Giving Pledge that would be immediately accessible. As to education of funders: this has become the majority of my work over the past 12 years. Thus: Having taught funders and foundation staff from all over the world, I can attest that there is a great advantage to cross fertilization. The Jewish cohort already has plenty of time and experience talking to each other but less experience sharing and learning with a much broader field of fellow funders. No doubt you are on target about the needs and value of encouraging this initiative among Jewish philanthropists- just not so persuaded that the Jewish funding world is well served by setting up a whole new structure and process.
