🎧 Listen to this and other episodes at www.joidenver.com/podcasts.

Welcome to Zero Percent, the podcast that explores the outsized impact of the Jewish people! 🌟

Join us as David Jacques Farahi, a former hospitality and gaming executive turned investor and philanthropist, shares his inspiring journey from corporate America to a life dedicated to meaningful giving. Discover how David's Iranian-Jewish parents modeled philanthropy even before financial success, teaching him that "we have a responsibility," a mantra that shaped his entire worldview.

Hear David's powerful story about his work with Derech Eretz, a pre-military program transforming the lives of Israeli youth from underserved communities, and learn how finding the right cause changed his life as much as his giving changed others. From helping Russian Jews escape communism to supporting Israeli startups, David reveals the ripple effects of Jewish philanthropy and why agency, taking action rather than waiting, is central to Jewish values.

Whether you're just starting your philanthropic journey or looking to deepen your impact, David's wisdom about time, talent, and treasure will inspire you to recognize that everyone can be a philanthropist. Discover why giving isn't just about writing checks, why hosting a Shabbat dinner can change someone's life, and how the Jewish concept of responsibility leads to ability.

This episode challenges the notion that philanthropy is only for the wealthy, offering practical advice on finding causes that align with your passions, creating meaningful impact, and ensuring that the next generation inherits the same freedoms we enjoy today.
