Can a non-profit (school, shul, etc.) be run for profit? Can it be treated as a family business?
About this episode
The episode discusses the halachic and legal considerations surrounding the operation of non-profit organizations, particularly in relation to compensation and nepotism.
Are there halachic caps or guidelines on salaries and benefits? Does nepotism ever become a legal or halachic problem? What constitutes “reasonable compensation” for operators of religious non-profits? Can money be taken out in indirect ways, such as consulting fees?
