I Need Your Help!
To My Friends and Family:
Tzedakah is the Jewish word that is often translated to “charity”, but in fact truly means something deeper: justice. It is an integral, sacred component of Jewish life, and something that we as Jews are obligated to perform. Tzedakah can be given through money, aid, or other types of assistance to those in need, but all Jews should give to others in the way that they can.
I have received an amazing opportunity to perform Tzedakah in the Holy Land itself: Israel. Through the non-profit organization Because We Care I will be able to volunteer in the community of Ramat HaSharon and make a positive contribution to Israeli society. I will be partaking in an unpaid community volunteer and internship program where I will be able to use our unique skills, experiences, and interests in order to serve members of the community.
Because We Care is a program that takes place on the youth village/kibbutz of Hakfar Hayarok. The Kfar is an educational organization that has about 600 students, both native Israelis and recent immigrants. Its aim is to empower the students so they are able to develop and flourish, while simultaneously teaching them important values of cooperation and mutual responsibility. In addition to my volunteer work in the larger community, I will learn about and participate in our immediate surroundings on the Kfar.
I NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY POSSIBLE!
Because the program involves unpaid volunteer work I truly need your help in order to make this experience possible. The cost of the program is $6500. I have already raised half this amount, and so now I only have about $3,000 to go! With your generous support, I know I can reach my goal. I am asking that you donate to our cause whatever you possibly can. You will truly be helping me partake an amazing opportunity that enables us to contribute to Israel directly, and perform an act of justice so that those in need gain our support. ANY contributions will be GREATLY appreciated. NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL TO HELP!!!
Please donate simply by copying and pasting this link in your browser URL: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=lilsmrftte%40yahoo%2ecom&item_name=Because%20We%20Care%20Fundraiser&item_number=Because%20We%20Care%20Fundraiser&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&tax=0¤cy_code=USD&lc=US&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8
As a thank you to all who donate, I will compile a photo and text journal of our program, documenting the community and internship work we do, and showcasing our experience in Israel. Upon my return I will distribute copies to all donors, and will mention all donors by name (or you may remain anonymous at your discretion) in the chapbook.
I really need your help, so please contribute ASAP, as the program begins in January 2008! I THANK YOU DEEPLY AND GRATEFULLY IN ADVANCE!!!
Shalom and Happy Holidays,
