Unit Overview 

Using traditional Jewish texts as a basis, students learn about the concept of Tzedakah (charity), a fundamental concept of Judaism. It engages students not only in learning, but through performing acts of charity.

Service Experience 
  Students will plan a drive (e.g. clothing or food drive) to help provide others with basic needs.   Students will actively participate in all aspects of the class drive to collect items to donate to a chosen charity. They plan, manage, and advertise the drive to parents and/or other students.   Students will collect tzedakah to pay for a meal.
