“CJDS was one of the best decisions my parents made for me as a growing child. I am so grateful for the experiences and education I got there. I learned how to be confident and be a leader in my community, and the importance of Tikkun Olam. We studied teachings of great Jewish leaders such as Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, which inspired me to be more than just ordinary. I took the knowledge I acquired from my teachers at CJDS with me into the real world, and I believe it is a big part of why I want to be a doctor and to help others. I am so grateful for the teachers and administration at CJDS that are still considered family to me today, and I know I will have that for the rest of my life.”
-CJDS Alumna Relli Cohen

CJDS Tzedakah Club students have learned about an Israeli project whose goal is to rescue food that would otherwise be wasted, and instead distribute the food to the hungry in Israel. There is an opportunity now for us to help Leket Israel.
Every $10 in Tzedakah will help to distribute 20 rescued meals to the poor. CJDS students will pool money collected in classroom Tzedakah boxes to make a contribution to this worthy end. At CJDS we experience that every child can make a difference!
