Ethan's
Ethan selected his Mitzvah projects based on two of the themes from his Torah portion:
dreams and hunger.
During the first part of 2020, Ethan learned about and raised $1,500 for the Sunshine Foundation. The Sunshine Foundation’s mission is to “answer the dreams of chronically ill, seriously ill, physically challenged and abused children ages three through eighteen, whose families cannot fulfill their requests due to financial strain that the child’s illness may cause.” Each year, the foundation makes children’s dreams come true by sending them on a Dreamlift to Disneyworld for a day. Through the generous donations from our family and friends, as well as the Beth El community, Ethan was able to raise enough money to send four children on Dreamlifts. Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus, the 2020 and 2021 trips were cancelled. We are looking forward to the 2022 Dreamlift and making the dreams of four or more children come true.

Ethan also helped the Jewish Relief Agency (JRA) to combat hunger in our community. The JRA serves over 6,000 diverse low-income individuals and families in the Philadelphia area. Ethan visited the JRA warehouse multiple times over the past year to pack boxes of food and deliver the food to residents in the area. To learn more about JRA, visit www.jewishrelief.org
Here are some pictures from our JRA trips! Feel free to look through them!
