In November,  the Wednesday program students were challenged by Jonah (our Jewish life teacher) to increase the light for the Hanukkah season by performing and documenting mitzvahs of all kinds.  The goal: if enough students uploaded photos and stories of their mitzvahs to  the online bulletin board called Padlet, then Rabbi David and the Olam Chesed staff would make donations to Capstone Community Action. The kids really came through! Click here to read about their wonderful deeds and acts of genuine kindness. Feel free to click on the hearts to show them some love in return.   From feeding their pets before they themselves eat, to preparing and delivering meals to neighbors and people in need, to helping in the yard and reading stories to grandparents, these kids are resourceful, helpful, and bright sparks of light!

May this shining and generous spirit set the tone for a brighter 2021.
