Giving Tzedakah
Mordechai "Mason" Horn, 9, of Milford and Yosef
The most fundamental pri-
ority for contributing to
those in need is that a per-
son is obligated to provide
for his own needs and for
those of his immediate
family before he provides
for anyone else. Charity
begins at home.
"Joey" Pearlstein, 7, of Commerce show off the proj-
ects made at Chabad Jewish Center of Commerce's
new religious school. Director Estie Greenberg said,
"Students will gain a wealth of knowledge about
Jewish holidays, history and basic Hebrew skills —
without pressure of books, tests, and traditional
classroom settings." No Jewish educational back-
ground is necessary to attend and no Chabad
Jewish Center membership is required. Students
ages 6.13 may join the once week classes at any
point during the school year, with the cost prorated.

We want to feature a photograph each week to accompany this Synagogue List. Mur congregations are busy doing special things all the time.
This is a great place to showcase them. We're looking for candid photographs featuring action — nothing posed. Please submit photos to us
for consideration. We will share the wealth and rotate among the congregations.
We prefer digital images sent by e-mail. High resolution. High quality, Timely Not too many people. Full identification — name and city as
well as the ages of children. With your photos, send information about the event — what, who, when, where and why. Include a contact and
