Tzedakah Curriculum (All Grades)
|
The Tzedakah Curriculum is designed to include schoolwide activities as well as individual
class projects. Schoolwide activities include High Holyday cards to be delivered to Jewish
residents at local nursing homes and the Hunterdon Developmental Center. The students
will participate in a canned food drive to support the Women’s Crisis Center and the
Flemington Food Pantry. They will also contribute to a variety of Jewish and secular
agencies both locally and abroad.
As part of our Tzedakah Curriculum, students in Gimel through Vav will visit Independence
Manor and Hunterdon Care Center to celebrate Jewish holidays.
Permission slips will be sent home several weeks prior to each outing and parent
volunteers will be solicited to help drive the children.
In class, each grade will concentrate on one of the mitzvot listed below. The students will
prepare a Tzedakah Bulletin Board which reflects their understanding of the mitzvah
studied.
