Presented by: Carly Rothenberg Friedman, founder of MyTzedakah.com
Carly Rothenberg Friedman was born in New York, attended Queens College where she graduated with a double major in English Literature and Psychology, Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa. Carly has always been driven by a deep desire to right the wrongs of the world, constantly seeking for and yearning for tzedek, justice. This drive led her to dedicate her life to the Jewish community through nonprofit work. She has been able to combine her love for Jewish nonprofits and her entrepreneurial spirit in the creation of MyTzedakah.com, a tech platform dedicated to bridging the gap between next generation philanthropists and worthy Jewish charities all over the world. Carly lives in Jerusalem with her husband, Marc and daughters, Noa and Amalya.
