For a Good Cause

First there was an email, telling us to stay tuned, something big is on the way, and we need YOU to be a part of it!

Then there was a personal phone call from the school’s administrator, asking if we could take on a fundraising page for their campaign, “Whatever you can do, whatever you can give, really, every parent who signs up gives us more visibility, it’s so, so important that the school can continue doing its avodas hakodesh….”

My eyes skipped the boring parts — baruch Hashem, school growth, building expansion, money… yada yada.
