| May 15, 2015 at 22:14 | comment | added | JJLL | There is no assuming...casino's most certainly do have a house advantage! Sheldon Edelson and Dan Gilbert are very wealthy Jews who own casinos. Both have contributed large sums of money to Jewish charities. Should Jewish organizations reject their contributions knowing the source of the money? If the answer is 'yes', I would then imagine owning casinos is not appropriate for Jews. If the answer is 'no', then the answer is less obvious. It seems that many Jewish charities have, indeed, accepted Edelson's and Gilbert's contributions. | |

While your first three are very related and can probably stay all together, i would recommend splitting your fourth question into a new post. Hope to see you around. :) | |
