I have an idea and though a comment here would be a good place to put it: I wonder if there should be a Jewish run EA charity or Charitable Fund that directs funds to good places (such as assorted EA organisations).
I think lots of Jews want to give to a Jewish run organisation or give within the Jewish community. If a Jewish run EA charity existed it could be helpful for making the case for more global effective giving.
It could be run with Jewish grant managers who ensure that funds are used well and in line with Jewish principles (there could be a Pikuach nefesh fund for saving the most lives, or a Maimonides ladder sustainable growth fund, etc).
To argue against this idea: one of the nice things about EA is it is not us asking for your money it is us advising on where you should give your money which feels nicer and is maybe an easier pitch. So maybe if there was an EA run Jewish charity or fund it might detract form that or should be separate from the outreach efforts.

Happy to help a bit with this if it happens.
