Not only is Madoff Jewish, but so are a lot of the people that got taken by him. There's more than a little crisis in the Jewish charitable world right now, because so much of their income was coming from Madoff-invested money. In fact, the Jewish organization on the north shore of MA was shuttered because the vast majority of their money came from a charitable foundation that had *all* its money invested with Madoff. The hit to the Jewish community is huge.
