About the Number 18
The number 18 holds great symbolism to the Jewish people. In Hebrew, each letter has a numerical value. The word “life” has a numerical value of 18. It is customary, in Jewish tradition, to pledge donations in multiples of 18. The Katz Family Charitable Foundation is dedicated to enriching the lives of all the people and communities that we encounter. The mitzvah, or commandment, of Tzedakah, giving charity, is about elevating the lives of others by giving and helping those less fortunate than ourselves. It is on these values that we base our mission of charitable work and ideology of doing good deeds, within our community and throughout the world.
