Given is brought to you by Tzedakah
Works, a not-for-profit operation, started by our family in 2005. Much of the information in the game is
based on the excellent work of renowned author Rabbi Alfred Koltach and his informative books
The Jewish Book of Why and How to Live a Jewish Life. The information used in the
game was also reviewed by two Jewish scholars.
Half of the
net profits of Tzedakah Works will be donated to charity. If
you would like to donate money to Tzedakah Works, we will use
your money to accelerate the distribution of Given by sending
free sample units and donated units to Jewish institutions and
schools. Order Given today.
People often ask us which charities we support and donate to and we reply,
"Mostly the ones we recommend in the game," which are listed on the Library page.
