Reply To: Giving Tzedkah to a Charity that uses Money for Expenses

I rarely see jewish entertainers Like MBD or Fried do soley for-profit open venue. They almost always do Benefits and their for-profit venues are private events like weddings and Bar-Mitzvahs.

As an FYI, there are very strong Halachic reasons why this is the case. Ayin in the sugyah of Zimrah.
