Tzedakah
This year, our SJS community is giving Tzedakah to Rimon Farms in memory of Capt. Yogev Pazy, a fallen soldier who gave his life on October 7, 2023. His story is a powerful reminder of courage, service, and the responsibility we share to support one another. You can read more in this Jerusalem Post article.
So far, SJS has collected $591.62, and we are grateful for every contribution that helps honor his memory and strengthen our connection to Israel.
