TZEDAKAH IN ACTION
Getting Teens into Tzedakah

Looking for a way to empower Jewish students to engage in Tzedakah?

Then check out Tzedakah in Action.

The Tzedakah in Action teacher's guide and curriculum is written by author Aaron Dorfman. It is based on the Temple Isaiah Seventh Grade Fund, the Jewish youth foundation of Temple Isaiah in Lafayette, California.

Since 1998,the Temple Isaiah Seventh Grade Fund has awarded nearly $75,000 to 18 different non-profit organizations.

Tzedakah in Action is a program to help teachers in synagogue schools and Jewish day schools establish and manage Jewish youth foundations. The Teacher's Guide and curriculum will help you:

• Set up a youth foundation
• Fundraise for your foundation
• Teach students about tzedakah and philanthropy
• Prepare students to act as foundation trustees
• Manage a grant cycle, including building relationships with grant recipients
• Guide students through the process of evaluating proposals and making grant decisions

This project was written and produced with the generous support of the Walter and Elise Haas Fund of San Francisco
