"Healthy Kids Are Happy Kids"
youthful act of tzedakah
(righteousness) raised
$250 for a Jewish agency
that assists developmental-
ly disabled people.
Twenty sixth-graders at Beth
Jacob School for Girls in Oak Park, a
division of Yeshiva Beth Yehudah,
staged the third annual Tzedakah
Carnival in an Oak Park back yard
on Aug. 13, drawing 100 neighbor-
hood kids.
The fare included a beanbag toss,
tic-tac-toe penny pitching, a Pepsi-
Coke challenge and other activities.
Sarah Snider, 11, hosted the event.
Co-organizers were 11-year-old twin
sisters Sarah and Rivkah Leah Levin.
The trio planned activities, bought
supplies and recruited classmates to
help staff booths. Neighborhood
boys also pitched in. Flyers printed
on home computers were distributed
through the neighborhood.
Last summer, the girls raised
S115, which they presented to Yad
Ezra, the Oak Park-based communi-
ty kosher food pantry. Each year,
they give all profits to a tzedakah of
their choice. The Farmington Hills-
based Jewish Association for
Residential Care (JARC) was the
choice this year.
"Every one had a great rime," said
Sarah Snider. "When it was all over,
we felt very good."
