What a learning experience we had last Sunday! Your child now has a concrete reason for bringing tzedakah to class.
Shira Skolnick, a liaison from the Jaffa Institute near Tel Aviv, has visited our Hey (5th grade) class for a number of years, and she shared with us a huge problem facing large numbers of Israeli kids - generational poverty. The dimes, quarters, and dollar bills that we save over the course of the school year go to this worthy institution that educates and feeds some of Israel's poorest children.

I have no doubt that this project will set our children up to do a lifetime of mitzvot through tzedakah.
