On March 11th, Areyvut met with students of the Pardais Program for high school students at the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale, NY under the leadership of Rabbi Adam Starr to discuss ways that they can make a difference in their community. Students studied traditional Jewish texts that helped deepen their understanding of the importance of chesed, tzedakah, and tikkun olam. With the help of Areyvut staff, program participants devised a list of potential service projects that they were interested in joining and realized that one is never too young to have a positive impact on the world. Students left the program feeling empowered to become actively engaged in programs that reach out to others. Areyvut enjoyed the opportunity to work with such a talented group of students and looks forward to supporting students from the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale as they channel their positive energy into action.
