In our class we will practice voting! We will choose the charity that we want to donate the money in our Tzedakah box to.

Today we heard about 3 amazing Jewish Charity organisations. Before we vote we will need to learn more about these organisations. Then we will choose which one we would like to donate our Tzedakah box money to.

- Ten yad: Takes care of brides and gives them everything they need for their wedding and their new home
-Hasc: services for children with special needs. Runs a camp for special needs and disabled children to make them happy

Ohel: An organisation that fills the needs of lonely people in the community; Foster care service and other social needs.

We are also open to voting for any other Jewish Charities that the children suggest...

You may look at the websites of each of these organisations to learn more about them with your child...
