Sell Purim
Cards/Mischloach Manot: http://support.levlalev.com/PurimCards
The joyous holiday of Purim is fast
approaching; celebrated on March 8th this year.
 Yom Kippur’s full name is Yom Ha’kiPURIM
– the day that is like PURIM! Purim is considered such a high holiday
because we uplift the physical by providing for the poor.
Every
year Lev LaLev sells Purim cards and this year, we’re asking you, our
ambassadors, to help us! Send the link above to all your friends and family.
Consider selling the cards in your school or extra-curricular club too! |

Hi Mitzvah girls! Sheena here! I am
so grateful for all the mitzvah opportunities and amazing leadership in tikkun olam
that I saw in January! What a great way to kick off the New Year!
On Sunday the 8th I
attended the Moriah School Chesed Fair in New Jersey. The event was sponsored
by AllChesed.com and the interest Lev LaLev received was so exciting for me!
 On Tuesday the 17th you
could find me at the Ramaz Middle School’s annual chesed fair in Manhattan. I
was so thankful that a Lev LaLev donor actually organized it so that we could
be there! I was the last to leave the event; some very motivated girls chose to
stay late decorating pencils for the Orphans. Even when their parents said it
was time to go, they took some materials home to keep decorating and send us
later! Such an inspirational evening!
Finally, here is an amazing project
an Ohio High School’s chesed club did to benefit the girls of the Home, our
first Beyond Bat Mitzvah club?

This year we celebrate Tu B’Shvat,
the Jewish New Year for trees, on February 8th.
 Trees are flexible and change, they
also provide air, shade, fruit and more. We can learn from trees to stay firm
in our foundations while still embracing the storms of life and simultaneously
remembering to do our best to think of others and what we can do to help them.
If you have ever read The Giving
Tree by Shel Silverstein you know what I’m talking about. Give it a read
this Tu B’Shvat; perhaps volunteer to read it to a younger grade’s class and
plant the seed of chesed, loving-kindness, early!
