Our Tzedaka Pushka got very heavy so we decided it is time to give it away. We had a couple of choices for where our Tzedaka money could go to, including a soup kitchen, a camp for children who are sick (i.e. can't walk, -Camp Simcha,) and to help rebuild children's homes that were burnt in the Carmel fire in Israel.
There was almost a unanimous vote to help rebuild children's homes! The children were very eager to help out and rushed to their cubbies to help contribute more money. We sorted the coins and friends helped count how much we had, which totalled $12.26. We had a discussion about why fires happen. We discussed how to be safe around fires. We concluded that only adults can start a fire. When we light candles or fires we have to make sure to watch it the whole time it is burning!
