“I enthusiastically read through your information on the 5% Tzedakah Project and I will be circulating it to our families. What a wonderful idea you had and I trust many other synagogues will respond to your idea with a great deal of support.”

 

-Rabbi Matt Cutler
Congregation Gates of Heaven
Schenectady, N.Y.

 

  

"It’s a wonderful project and one that obviously will bear fruit in future years, as we train all of you young philanthropists. Nice work!"

-Rabbi Ian Silverman

“I am going to send an email to all of my 7th grade students and their parents and encourage them to participate. I think it is wonderful that the student can pick his or her charity - that is so great!”
