I dug up the tax return for the Jewish Community Foundation from 2006<\/a>. There’s no return available on guidestar.com for 2007.<\/p>\n

I want to understand what culpability the Jewish Community Foundation has for its bad investments with Bernie Madoff.<\/p>\n

It lists the top five paid employees for that year:<\/p>\n

* Simone Savlov $233,000
\n* Baruch Littman $164,000
\n* Elliot Kristal $162,000
\n* Susan Grinel $152,000
\n* Steven Price $151,000<\/p>\n

It spent about $64,000 for public relations and $454,000 on marketing.<\/p>\n

In 2006, according to this return, the Jewish Community Foundation gave out these sums to these places:<\/p>\n

* Jewish Television Network $100,000
\n* American Friends of the Hebrew University $151,543
\n* United Jewish Fund $189,429
\n* St. Johns Hospital $1,000,000
\n* American Kosher Supervision $450,000
\n* Congregation Torah V Chesed $2,550,000
\n* Mercaz Beth Jacob in Eretz Yisroel $100,000
\n* Yeshivath Torath Emeth Academy $500,000<\/p>\n
