Tax reform-
have contributed to this popular
and appealing notion.
A possible target for people
looking to reduce their level ol
charitable expenditures, some
say. might be synagogues and
Jewish schools.
“We may lose a few donations
here and there, but I don’t think
it'll be dramatic," said Rabbi
Herbert Cohen, dean of Yeshiva
High School. “We're not plan
ning to cut back on services, but
nothing is absolutely out of the
question. It we don’t get the
money we need, then we have to
rethink some of the things we are
doing."
Rabbi Cohen says that Jew'ish
institutions, like Yeshiva High
School, have supporters w ho are
deeply loyal and who will give to
the school regardless of the tax
consequences.
"On the other hand, you have
people on the fringes, who are
not as close to the institution,
he said. “Part ol their considera
tion in giving charity is how
much tax benefit they will get.
I hese people on the outer periph
ery of any institution may rethink
the level of some of their com
mitments."
Rabbi Cohen added that those
Jew ish institutions with less well-
defined constituencies than a
Jewish school or a synagogue,
may find it difficult to raise con
tributions down the road.
Accountant Bach said there
are no steadfast rules governing
how Jews or anybody should
give to charity.
“Each person has to look at his
or her own situation,” he said.
“You cannot make generalized
rules about it. Each person has
got to sketch out a picture of
their income for 19X6 and 19X7
and see where they are going to
fall in those two years.”
Despite the efforts of lawmak
ers to draft a comprehensive fed
eral tax reform act. AJF’s Pous-
man thinks Congress will change
the new law in the years ahead.
“They are rewriting and mak
ing technical corrections to the
tax law even now," he said. “I
think in I9XX they may even
change it directly.”
