Evie blogs on our third meeting

At Sunday’s meeting, we had a simulation of the grant process. We split up into six groups, and three were organizations that were requesting funds, and three were foundations who were deciding where to give their money. We had to present our organizations in the best possible ways and make hard decisions about where to give our money.

Next we were split into different groups and we were each given a different assignment. One group had to make a skit about major ideas of Tzedakah. Another group had to find a text about Tzedakah that had to do with the game Jenga. A third group found a modern song that related to our texts, and the last group had to find ideas about Tzedakah in a fashion magazine. Though difficult, it showed us how the main ideas of Tzedakah can be applied in many different situations.
