We encourage use to use this project as a hands-on lesson in
tzedakah (giving) and gemilut hasadim (deeds of lovingkindness)
for your children. We suggest that you bring the Operation Isaiah bag to the supermarket
and ask your children to help select items from the list to fill it.


Help will be needed for set-up.
Please contact us if you are available.
