Kars4Kids being in the news again has reminded me that Oorah is one of those research rabbit holes that will drive you insane because it's impossible to describe without sounding at least a little anti-Semitic.

"ok so you know those really annoying Kars4Kids ads? You know the ones that are like '1-877-KARS-4-KIDS' yeah those? Ok so all of the money from that charity goes to this organization called Oorah which is this non-profit dedicated to supporting the Haredi Jewish community in New York and New Jersey. Yes they advertise nationwide, no they do not mention their religious affiliation in the ads. What are Haredi Jews? They're like the Duggar family of Jews we don't have time to get into it. What kind of services does Oorah provide? Mostly free trips to Israel for teenagers where they can listen to settler propaganda and hook up with IDF soldiers. Do they do anything else? They invest in real estate, they run some upstate New York summer camps that are famous in the area for labor and safety violations and they also do adult matchmaking. Why would a charity need to run a matchmaking service? Because the Haredim do arranged marriages look I told you we can't get into this right now. Oh also they run an annual 'charity auction' that is probably an illegal raffle and their mascot is an anthropomorphic $5 bill named Fiveish. No I'm not kidding bro I fucking WISH I was kidding rn"

Now you might be saying "hey Minerva I recognize that mascot, isn't that Yapdollar???" Yes and no. When he's promoting Oorah he's Fiveish and when he's narrating over bad Chinese lifehack videos he's Yapdollar it's sort of a Jeckyll and Hyde situation.
