Chanukah is not just about receiving gifts, but doing good deeds for others less fortunate (click here to sponsor). Please consider sponsoring the PTA in our Chanukkah Chesed project. This month’s character counts pillar is Ne’emanut – Trustworthiness. When we say we’re going to take care of the less fortunate and we fulfill with our commitment, we increase trust within our community. This, in turn, leads people to have trust in Hashem, and know that their prayers can be answered.

From now until November 30th, bring your new, unwrapped toys to the Doheny lobby. Then, join the Hillel PTA on Saturday, December 1st at 6:30pm in the cafeteria along with your friends and the Hillel community for a FREE party to wrap gifts, bring the joy of Chanukkah to the children at Chai Lifeline, enjoy pizza and sufganiot, music, dreidel competitions, and of course, build your Ne’emanut at the same time.

Enjoy pictures from last year’s Chanukkah Chesed event. Harkham Hillel PTA and Tomchei Shabbos teamed up to pack 300 bags for families in need! Toiletries were donated by Hillel families and packed up at Hillel’s 2016 Chanukah Chesed Event. We thank everyone who joined us to perform this important mitzvah!
