Live Generously

On my way home from school tonight...yes I was at the school on our day off (my life is That exciting)...I saw a billboard ad that had the words "Live Generously" written in white on a blue background and it was by the Jewish Community something or other. I didn't stare too long because I was driving, but it stuck out to me for this reason:

It appeared near Higgins and Main, one of the poorest areas of the city. I don't think people who live in that area can afford to be overly generous, but maybe that was the point the billboard was making? I started to think, why would the "Jewish Community" put up a billboard there? I thought it was ironic because Jews are known for being stealthy with their money but yet they were advertising a message about generosity. Maybe that's what the billboard is for. Are they trying to combat this stigma?

Who do you think they want to live generously, and what exactly does "Live Generously" mean?
