The Importance behind Charitable Giving



There are many ways you can spend your hard earned dollars. And there is nothing wrong with rewarding yourself for your hard work and a job well done. But, what would happen if you rewarded someone else instead?   

Charitable giving is extremely important for a number of reasons. It extends a positive attitude beyond your inner circles, to the public and to the community. Supporting a cause can help keep you informed about issues in society.

Giving to charity may also improve your sense of well-being. You will be making a difference in the society and will also be promoting ethical behavior and morale. This leads to a better culture in the community and long-term benefits in societal culture.                                 

Despite her busy law practice, Attorney Inna Fershteyn continues to be involved and give back to the community. She is a President of the NY Association of Russian-Speaking Women Attorneys, a member of the Board of Directors of Edith and Carl Marks Jewish Community House of Bensonhurst, and a member of American Jewish Committee (AJC). She is also on the board of directors of Young Actors International Music Theater, Inc., a theatre for children aged 5 to 13 which produces Broadway-style plays and shows in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

She helped to establish The Menachem Education Foundation; established to professionalize Jewish Schools and offer the highest caliber of education to children.

There are also other ways to give back as well. Attorney Inna Fershteyn, who specializes in estate planning, notes the importance behind planning for children with disabilities. For parents who cannot afford to pay for an attorney, she assists them by helping with their estate planning for their children with disabilities- free of charge.

Ms. Fershteyn has also recently returned to her alma mater, New York University, to participate as a member of the first Family Advisory Council at NYU Langone Medical Center’s Sala Institute for Child and Family Centered Care.  

Ms. Fershteyn encourages everyone to give back in any and every way – whether it is money, your time, or your services. Charitable giving sets an example, inspires, and engages others to do the same. It encourages positive change to all around you.

Your actions are what define you in the eyes of others, and most importantly, in your own eyes. One small action from you can mean a huge difference to someone else. Giving back is among the most important and valuable things someone can do.
