Each year at our Fair of Giving to The Community* - BJC students have the opportunity to learn about different charitable organizations, and help direct how tzedakah funds collected during the school year will be distributed. The following charities were presented this year:

bulletAll4Israel.org
bulletJewish Federation of Greater Washington Tsunami Relief Fund
bulletJewish National Fund
bulletAleh Foundation for Disabled Children
bulletSave the Children Foundation
bulletFriends of the IDF
bulletMagen David Adom
bullet Od Yosef Chai (no website-this links to Hillel's info on this charity)
bulletAmerican Jewish World Service
bulletMontgomery County Humane Society
bulletNorth American Conference On Ethiopian Jewry

*-why don't we just call it our "Tzedakah Fair?" Although "tzedakah" has come to mean charitable giving, its meaning is more expansive--(doing) righteous acts--of which giving to help the needy is but one part.
