This week, Nachi Gordon sits down with philanthropists Yossi Hoch and Simcha Shain to talk about the world of tzedakah, from the pressure donors carry to the changing psychology of giving. They open up about what has shifted since their parents' generation, how technology and platforms like Charidy have reshaped fundraising, and why some of the most established organizations now struggle to compete with flashier, newer causes. Along the way they share candid stories about donors who quietly write six figure checks and others who give up their Shabbos soda money, and why both matter equally.   The conversation turns personal as Yossi and Simcha discuss the hidden shame that comes with losing the ability to give, the toll of unfulfilled pledges, and what it really means to give with a full heart rather than a full wallet. They also dig into Shuvu, the organization educating thousands of children across Israel, including former hostage Bar Kuperstein, and share the story of how each of them first got involved. It's a wide ranging, honest look at what tzedakah costs, what it gives back, and why every dollar, no matter the size, counts.

The latest episode of the Energy Horizons series on Greenberg Traurig's E2 Energy Law podcast is now live. Host Bill Garner, Global Co-Chair of GT's Energy and Natural Resources Practice, sits down with Tom Brill, an Energy Practice shareholder in GT's San Diego office, to discuss the shifting federal and state policy landscape for the U.S. hydrogen industry. Their conversation opens with an examination of the Inflation Reduction Act's foundational hydrogen incentives, including the Section 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit, as well as the Section 45Q carbon sequestration credit and provisions for direct pay and transferability. Tom then walks through how the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act altered the playing field, most notably by compressing the construction start deadline for the 45V credit from 2033 to 2028, while leaving the credit itself intact and expanding support for certain carbon sequestration, biofuel, and nuclear projects. They address the Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) rules and their supply chain implications, the funding cuts to select regional hydrogen hubs, and the growing importance of state-level incentives and mandates - including California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, cap-and-trade programs, and renewable portfolio standards - as counterweights to federal uncertainty. The episode closes with practical guidance for project developers and investors: move quickly to meet tightened federal deadlines, analyze both federal and state incentive stacks, identify high-value destination markets and end uses, and build projects designed to remain viable even as the policy landscape continues to evolve.

This Day in Legal History: The Senate Rejects Court-PackingOn July 22, 1937, the United States Senate rejected President Franklin D. Roosevelt's plan to reorganize—critics said “pack”—the Supreme Court, voting 70 to 20 to send the bill to a quiet death. It was a stinging defeat for a president at the height of his popularity, delivered by his own party, and it settled a constitutional question that still shapes how we think about the independence of the judiciary.The background was a collision between the New Deal and the Court. Through the mid-1930s, a conservative majority on the Supreme Court had struck down key pieces of Roosevelt's economic program as unconstitutional. Frustrated after his landslide 1936 reelection, FDR proposed legislation that would have let him appoint a new justice for every sitting justice over the age of seventy—which, not coincidentally, would have allowed him to add up to six new justices and swamp the opposition. He framed it as a matter of efficiency and helping overworked elderly judges, but nobody was fooled; it was a naked attempt to change the Court's decisions by changing its membership.The plan backfired, and the reasons are the lesson. Even senators who supported the New Deal recoiled at the precedent—if this president could enlarge the Court to get the rulings he wanted, so could the next one, and the Court's independence would become a fiction. Meanwhile, the Court itself defused the crisis: in the spring of 1937, Justice Owen Roberts began voting to uphold New Deal legislation, the famous “switch in time that saved nine,” which took some of the urgency out of FDR's demand. The significance of July 22, 1937 is that it established a durable, if unwritten, constitutional norm—that the size of the Supreme Court is essentially off-limits as a tool for a president to overpower rulings he dislikes. The number nine isn't in the Constitution, but the bipartisan rebuke of court-packing helped make it feel almost as if it were.An analysis of the closely watched lawsuit by Meta employees over AI-driven layoffs highlights a hard truth: even when workers suspect an algorithm decided their fate, proving it is enormously difficult. To recap, 26 current and former Meta employees sued, alleging the company's internal AI tools flagged them for termination because they have disabilities or took protected medical, parental, or family leave. Their theory is mechanically specific: because tools like the “Metamate” system scored employees partly on data such as keystroke activity, workers who were lawfully out on leave generated fewer data points and were disproportionately ranked as low-value. Meta cut roughly 8,000 people—about ten percent of its workforce—and says humans, not machines, made the decisions. Here's why these cases are so hard to win. Anti-discrimination law generally requires the worker to show the employer's decision was tainted by a protected characteristic, but the employee usually has almost no visibility into how the AI actually worked—the models, the training data, and the weighting are the company's closely held secrets. On top of that, many employees have signed arbitration agreements, funneling their claims out of open court and into a private process that's harder to see into and to appeal. The significance is that this appears to be the first case of its kind against a major U.S. company, and it exposes a growing gap: as employers hand more consequential decisions to opaque algorithms, the legal tools workers have to challenge those decisions—built for an era of human managers—may not be up to the job of proving what the machine did.Analysis: Meta employees' lawsuit shows that if AI fires you, proving it is the hard part | ReutersA split panel of the D.C. Circuit has struck down a long-standing National Labor Relations Board doctrine that protected unions after a business changes hands, ruling that it conflicts with federal labor law. The doctrine at issue is the “successor bar,” and it works like this: when a company is acquired and a new employer takes over, that employer generally cannot challenge or withdraw recognition from the existing union for a reasonable period—about six months—giving the union and workers a window of stability to bargain with their new boss. The court held that this Board-created rule isn't consistent with the National Labor Relations Act. What makes this ruling bigger than one labor doctrine is the tool the court used to get there. The decision applies the Supreme Court's 2024 Loper Bright ruling, which overturned the decades-old Chevron doctrine and ended the requirement that courts defer to a federal agency's reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous statute. Without that deference, the D.C. Circuit felt free to substitute its own reading of the labor law for the NLRB's. This is exactly the dynamic I wrote about in my Bloomberg column last week in the tax context—the death of Chevron doesn't erase statutory ambiguity, it just moves the power to resolve it from agencies to courts. The significance is that we're now watching that shift play out across the administrative state: settled agency doctrines, some decades old, are suddenly vulnerable to being reinterpreted by judges, and here the immediate losers are unions and the workers who counted on a bargaining foothold after a merger.US court says longstanding NLRB rule on post-merger union bargaining is invalid | ReutersA federal judge has temporarily blocked the administration from stripping work authorization from tens of thousands of asylum seekers and immigrants with Temporary Protected Status. U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton in Boston sided with a coalition of immigrant-rights groups and labor unions, halting U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services from moving ahead with a set of policies while he weighs a longer-term pause; he said he'll rule by August 5. Here's the stakes and the legal frame. A work permit—formally, an employment authorization document—is what lets many immigrants lawfully hold a job while their asylum case or protected status is pending. Yanking it doesn't just threaten deportation down the line; it immediately jeopardizes people's livelihoods and their employers' workforces. The contested policies were designed to implement immigration restrictions Congress enacted last year as part of the administration's signature tax-and-spending law, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The plaintiffs argue USCIS is implementing those provisions in ways that exceed what the law allows and skip required procedures. A temporary block like this one preserves the status quo—keeping people employed—while the court decides whether the government followed the rules. The significance connects to a theme we keep returning to: courts serving as a check on how fast and how far the executive can move in reshaping immigration, insisting that even policies rooted in a real act of Congress still have to be implemented lawfully and with proper process.US judge blocks Trump administration from stripping immigrants of work permits | ReutersAnd finally, in my column for Bloomberg Tax this week, I dig into a self-inflicted mess in California: lawmakers scrambling to rework a business tax-credit cap that they apparently didn't realize would kneecap Hollywood film studios. My core argument is that California is directionally right to resist subsidy bidding wars, but wrong to rewrite the economics of credits it has already issued after companies have started relying on them.Here's what happened. Since 2024, California has capped the total tax reduction a business can take from all its credits at $5 million a year. That cap was set to expire after 2026—right as productions were going to start claiming credits under a newly expanded film incentive the state had just touted as a centerpiece of keeping film jobs in California. Instead, a bill called SB 122 extended the $5 million limit through 2029 and then converts it to the greater of $5 million or 70% of taxes owed. The part that really gets me is the admission underneath it: lawmakers passed a $351.7 billion budget without apparently understanding how this cap would interact with the film credit they'd just enlarged. As one assemblymember candidly put it, “I'm not sure who knew what about what.” It looks like the cap was really aimed at large research-and-development credit stockpiles, and film credits just got caught in the crossfire.My argument is that the distinction between prospective and retroactive matters enormously here. It's one thing for California to decide, going forward, that future subsidies will be smaller or conditioned—that's legitimate fiscal discipline, and I don't think Hollywood should get to dictate tax policy just by threatening to decamp to Georgia. But it's another thing entirely to change the timing and practical value of credits after studios have already committed workers, facilities, and financing in reliance on the old rules. When a state does that, it makes itself a less credible counterparty, and it quietly reduces the value of every future incentive it offers, because businesses will start discounting California's promises for legislative risk. So my prescription is targeted: protect the film credits already awarded under the prior rules, keep a real limit on the big accumulated R&D credits that were the actual target, and replace the blunt across-the-board cap with rules tailored to how these very different credits actually work. California doesn't have to choose between fiscal discipline and keeping its word—its tax policy can be skeptical, but its promises should still mean something.California's Business Tax Credit Cap Needs More Targeted Changes | Bloomberg Tax This is a public episode.

The legislation, which sunsets federal tax credit eligibility for some technologies such as wind and solar photovoltaics, spurred stakeholders to scramble to maximize legacy incentives before Independence Day. Now that the fireworks have passed, what happens next?This episode of the Factor This Policycast, presented in partnership with Advanced Energy United, discusses how clean energy projects are being constructed and financed in the second half of 2026 and beyond. It will address the challenges of a post-tax-credit world, share the incentives still available, and explore how policy reforms at the state and federal levels could accelerate deployment. Could federal clean energy credits someday return? Featuring guests:Dylan Reed, Managing Director at Advanced Energy United, former GDO at DOEWalter L.

For many business owners, one of the biggest missed wealth opportunities may already be sitting inside the business. Technology upgrades, software implementation, equipment, and operational improvements. These are the kinds of investments owners are already making to grow, modernize, and stay competitive. But in many cases, they may not just be expenses or deductions. They may create R&D tax credits. A deduction lowers taxable income. A credit can reduce taxes dollar for dollar. For an owner with meaningful income, that is not a small accounting detail. It is capital that can stay inside the system, be redeployed, invested, protected, or used to build long-term personal wealth. Wealth does not only leak through bad investments. It also leaks through taxes that were never strategically addressed, retirement income plans that rely too heavily on average returns, and capital that leaves the system before it ever has the chance to compound. The question is not simply how much money you make, how much you save, or whether the market performs over time. It is how much capital you actually keep, how intelligently that capital is structured, and whether your wealth plan can hold up when taxes, volatility, timing, and life events collide. Derick Van Ness is the founder of Big Life Financial, where he helps business owners turn business income into personal freedom, long-term security, and legacy through advanced tax and financial strategies. In this episode, he breaks down why R&D tax credits are not just for laboratories, tech companies, or large corporations. We also talk about the retirement problem many investors underestimate: not whether markets go up over time, but what happens when you need income during a down year and are forced to sell impaired assets. Derick walks through how volatility buffers can help protect income planning when timing, markets, and withdrawals collide.   About the Guest Derick Van Ness is the founder of Big Life Financial, where he helps business owners turn business income into personal freedom, long-term security, and legacy through advanced tax and financial strategies.

His work focuses on helping owners reduce unnecessary tax leakage, uncover overlooked opportunities, and build strategies that allow more capital to stay productive. Over the course of his career, Derick has worked with more than 2,500 businesses across the U.S., identifying strategies many owners never see and helping them create stronger financial outcomes.

Cost segregation is a deduction. So that's going to lower your amount of income, which means you pay less taxes. So if you got an R and D tax credit of $20,000 and you had a liability of $20,000, now you owe zero because that's going to wipe out the liability. So tax credits are a little bit more valuable than a deduction as far as the impact.

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in the podcast link found drawincustomers.com we are locally underwritten by the bank of Sun Prairie Calls On Call Extraordinary Answering Service as well as the Bold Business Book. And today we're welcoming, preparing to learn from Tom Brodie of Cost Segregation Services. So Tom, how is it going today? Tom Brodie [00:00:56]: It's going very well. Thank you for having me on the program. James [00:00:59]: Yeah, I'm glad that you're on here. I love the name of your business because it says exactly what you do. So for those that may not know, can you tell us what is cost segregation? Tom Brodie [00:01:11]: Yeah, it's, I know that people stumble over that all the time. What we do is we help commercial building owners depreciate their building faster and say faster just because it's faster than what they're used to. Right. What the CPA or tax preparer will do will take the value of the building and divide it by 39 years or 27 and a half years if it's a apartment complex. What we do is say there's things in your building are not going to last that long. So we do the study to say, okay, you've got this much assets in a five year category, this many assets, you know, in a 15 year category, and break it down that way and then help them depreciate it faster, which means more depreciation expense is less income, which means less income taxes. And so you're really saving a tremendous amount of money in income taxes. James [00:01:59]: So when you're talking about assets, can you elaborate on what those are? Tom Brodie [00:02:04]: It's a commercial building. I mean, so if you got, you know, you're building, you've got the external walls and everything else, but then you've got so much on the inside, internal walls, you know, H vac controls on the inside, things that are not really key to keeping the structure upright. Those are the things that are going to have a slower, sorry, a faster life. And so you're going to depreciate them faster and then record it's the same dollars, you're just recording it sooner. Right. And so you'll be able to write that off when those things are worth more, the whole time value of money thing. So rather than waiting 39 years to get you, your asset depreciated, you can take about 30% of that on average and record it sooner. James [00:02:42]: All right, so you're talking carpet shelving, Tom Brodie [00:02:47]: floor coverings, window coverings. Actually outside a building too. Parking lots are a huge expense that people don't think about. That's a 15 year asset. So if you've got a big parking lot, that's going to be something we can write off right away. And then security systems, fencing, you know, irrigation systems, everything outside the building that's not really part of the structure. Those are going to be usually in the 15 year asset category. James [00:03:11]: All right, now I understand you're not an accountant, but I'm still going to ask the question because it eludes the question. Hey, instead of this cost segregation or the depreciation being spread out over 39 years or 27 years, you do a chunk of it, 30% ish, right away. What happens if you sell it? Sell the building? Tom Brodie [00:03:31]: Well, that's the one thing that we tell people. If you're getting ready to sell it right away, you don't want to do this. Right. Because whenever you sell any building, you're going to have to pay recapture. And so if you accelerate the depreciation and then try to sell it the next year, all that savings is going to be eaten up when you have to pay back the recapture. So we typically tell people three to five years is a, is a good timeframe after cost seg study, you know, to hold it. If you're going to hold it that long, then that reinvested of the savings is going to be able to create a return for you that will offset the recapture. I've had some clients turn around and sell it right away. Tom Brodie [00:04:07]: I said, we talked about this, right? You said you weren't going to sell it right away. They said I made so much money I didn't care about it. Okay, as long as you did that, full knowledge that I told you not to sell it right away. But it's one of those things where, you know, things happen and you have to make a move. But we typically think that you've held on to something within three to five years, you're going to be fine. James [00:04:30]: Right on. Do the math is what it comes down To, Right, exactly. Tom Brodie [00:04:34]: I mean we, we always, we give free estimates because that's the one thing that people don't understand. How much. These are big numbers, right. A lot of times. And so when you actually see the number there and then you put it into your calculation to see if this makes financial sense, a lot of people are surprised by the number to go. I didn't know this was available. Yeah, it is. James [00:04:54]: Can you. Let's just talk the numbers and let's keep it relatively easy. Just for Neanderthals like me that aren't that good at math, let's just say for fun, we got a million dollar building, right? I just bought this million dollar commercial building, office space, warehouse space. I don't know if it matters. Can you just walk me through the numbers I can expect and then what that turns into, as far as money in my pocket goes? Tom Brodie [00:05:17]: Absolutely. Now every building's gonna be a little bit different. Like so if an office building is gonna have more things that you can actually accelerate than if you had just a metal warehouse. Right. Metal warehouse is pretty much a box. But if an office building got a lot of things on the inside of that building that you can depreciate million dollars on average, I'm usually finding a deduction, a tax deduction equal to about 20 to 25% of the building's value. Now I say building's value because you have to subtract land, right? So if it costs you a million dollars, you take the land out. Maybe you're like $800,000 or something like that. Tom Brodie [00:05:52]: So it's 20% of that building. Only value that could be in a depreciation deduction, right? So that's, and with, with 100% bonus depreciation coming back, all those things that are accelerate acceleratable are things that you could write off in year one after doing a study. So it, it's significant. So you know, not every building is the same. So the more internal walls and maybe the high end decor elements you have, you have a nice lobby with a lot of high end granite or marble or whatever. Those things cost money. And typically you're not going to ROI on those, right? So if you can write all that stuff off in the first year,...

Tax credit equity pricing is determined by various important supply-and-demand factors. On this episode of Tax Credit Tuesday, Michael Novogradac, CPA, sits down with Novogradac partners and CPAs Tony Grappone, Michael Kressig, Brad Elphick and Dirk Wallace to discuss the factors affecting demand for tax credit equity in 2026 and in the future. The speakers discuss the investor market and pressing issues for low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs), new markets tax credits (NMTCs), historic tax credits (HTCs) and renewable energy tax credits (RETCs). The five then discuss potential legislative and regulatory changes on the horizon. This episode is the second part of a two-part series, with Part 1 released June 2.

In this episode, Matt  and Jamison explore the concept of "active waiting" as it relates to both the spiritual life and the current legislative landscape. The primary focus of the discussion is the Education Freedom Tax Credit (EFTC), as the association continues to await critical draft regulations from the Treasury Department. With the program set to take effect in 2027, the hosts emphasize the necessity for regulatory clarity by late summer to allow schools and scholarship-granting organizations sufficient time to prepare families and donors.The episode highlights significant state-level developments, celebrating major "opt-in" victories in New York and Colorado, while providing updates on legislative battles in Virginia and Maryland. The hosts also address concerns regarding potential state-level over-regulation and the importance of maintaining the EFTC as a straightforward federal provision. Concluding with a reflection on waiting as a spiritual discipline, this episode encourages listeners to remain faithfully engaged in advocacy while trusting in God's timing for the future of school choice.

When retirement policymakers sought to incentivize small businesses to begin offering retirement plans in an effort to help close the coverage gap, they did so in part by creating greatly expanded federal tax credits that would offset their cost in providing those plans.But research has found fewer than 6% of eligible employers are properly claiming the tax credit—and that's a problem that doesn't sit well with retirement plan advisor Will Hackler, AIF, the “401(k) Fix-It Guy” who is the Managing Partner at Integrated Pension Services. Hackler says there's a real awareness problem regarding the tax credit, and that advisors need to step in to make sure eligible firms (and their tax-filing CPAs) know about and take advantage of a program intended specifically for them.In this episode, Hackler explains the tax credit, the problem and potential solutions.
