All week, students and family volunteers came through our Chesed Tent to give back. Students decorated tzedakah boxes, Chanukah cards for soldiers, and Cozy Cups for seniors; they stuffed teddy bears for ill children and wrote them birth certificates, packed Shabbos boxes, filled care packages for troops, wrapped flowers and chulent for families, and packed gear and wrote letters to soldiers in Israel. Every project will end up in someone else’s hands.
