This quote could help explain why the Jewish community lags a little behind in following trends, including trends in social media and new fundraising application.

What’s your 2 cents? We’d love to hear from you!
“God calls the Jews a “stiff-necked people.” Being stiff-necked is both good and bad. It’s bad because you are stubborn and unwilling to change. But it’s good because in the face of fads and trends, you stick to your guns. If the Jewish people were not stiff-necked, we’d never have survived till today.”

– Rabbi Noah Weinberg, Aish.com from the article “Handling Social Pressure”
