Back to School with the Children of SDEROT and GUSH KATIF



As summer vacation gets into full swing, the furthest thing from anyone's mind is the start of the next school year.

However, for the some 3500 elementary school students from the city of Sderot and the ex-Gush Katif communities, going back to school can be a source of major financial stress.

CYIR: Council of Young Israel Rabbis in Israel invites you to join us in its "Back to School with the Children of Sderot and Gush Katif" campaign. It’s very simple: we want to place a fully stocked pencil case filled with writing implements and other “goodies” on each child’s desk as a “welcome back” message of solidarity. Our aim is that when these students arrive in their classrooms for the first day of school on September 1, there will be a pencil case waiting for them on their desk.

Help put a smile on the faces of these students that have gone through so much. The cost of each pencil case is $10 (or NIS 35) and we need to reach a total of 3500 pencil cases to ensure that every student receives this small but significant token of the oneness of our people.

Donations can be made in US Dollars via PayPal for $10 USD by clicking this link.
