The tzedakah box - a symbol of a highly important act The tzedakah box is a means for a Jewish person to perform one of the most important acts of Judaism. According to the ancient sages, the commandment of giving charity is equally important to all other Jewish commandments. The High Holiday prayers state that God judges all who have sinned. But, teshuvah (repentance), tefilah (prayer) and tzedakah can reverse His decision. There are no exemptions The duty to give is considered so important in Judaism that even the recipient is obligated to give something back to others. The only stipulation is that one should not give to the point where he himself becomes needy. The act is also linked to ancient times According to some sources, giving tzedakah is considered a replacement for the animal sacrifice carried out in ancient times. This act was meant to express thanks to God and ask His forgiveness. Let's move on and take a look at the personal aspect: When you give, you gain something back as well… The giving of charity can often be just as rewarding to the giver as to the receiver. The spiritual reward for giving can often just as great as the benefit the receiving party will gain. When a person gives to charity, he has the opportunity both to appreciate the good that he has and to share it with others – a person like that is lucky in my book… Now what about the meaning of the word? The word tzedakah comes from the Hebrew word tzedek, which means righteous. In the Bible, the word tzedakah refers to justice, kindness and ethical behavior. In Modern Hebrew, it refers to charity - giving to those in need. This is consistent with the Jewish approach Judaism considers charity to be an act of justice more then an act of good faith. According to tradition, people in need have a right to food, clothing and shelter – this right must be honored by others more fortunate. So you see, giving tzedakah is not voluntary, it's considered an act of justice. According to some, there are also different levels of tzedakah – let's see what they are! The different levels of charity The RAMBAM (Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon), a 12th century Jewish scholar, wrote a code of Jewish law saying that not all acts of charity are equivalent - some are considered better then others. In the text below, you can see how he ranked them, from the most meritorious to the least meritorious: Giving and enabling the recipient to become self-reliant Giving when neither party knows the other's identity Giving when you know the recipient's identity, but he doesn't know yours Giving when you don't know the recipient's identity, but he knows yours Giving before being asked Giving after being asked Giving less that you should, but giving it happily Giving begrudgingly There is also an accepted way to determine the recipient When giving charity, you should consider the person or organization you plan to help out. According to Jewish tradition, there are some recipients more preferred than others. They are ranked below in order of priority, from the highest to the lowest: Family and close relatives Local Jewish community Jewish community in Israel Jewish communities worldwide Local community in general International assistance to needy people The occasion on which we give also has an importance In Judaism, there are occasions in which it's considered more appropriate to give to others. Giving is considered a great way to celebrate a happy occasion, commemorate a deceased loved one or mark the Holy Days. It's also traditional in Jewish families to give the children money each week, before the Sabbath, to place in the tzedakah box by this teaching them the act of tzedakah. Where can we find the tzedakah boxes? Tzedakah boxes are often found in public places but also in many Jewish homes. Most synagogues have tzedakah boxes as well - this is to enable people who come to worship and celebrate to carry out an act of righteousness. Will you recognize it when you see it? Let's take a close look at the box The tzedakah box can take almost any shape and form. There are round boxes, square boxes, long ones and flat ones. They can be made of all sorts of materials. For example, glass, ceramic, silver, pewter, wood and even papier maché. The boxes are usually decorated with Jewish motifs or general motifs such as nature. Once, I even saw a tzedakah box for sports lovers, it was designed like a basketball! Spread the joy of giving The tzedakah box makes a great gift. If it's of high quality it can even last for ever and maybe be passed on as a family heirloom. Giving it as a gift is most appropriate on almost any occasion: Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, new babies, weddings, birthdays or even when visiting friends and family.

AMIT operates 108 schools and two surrogate family residences (youth villages). The AMIT Network was selected by Israel’s Ministry of Education as the leading Jewish educational network across all measurements, including quality bagrut, pedagogical innovation, pluralism and bridging the gap, lowest dropout rate and integrity. AMIT has raised bagrut scores across the reshet (“network”), and it has significantly increased the number of students studying math, physics, science and technology subjects at the highest levels. AMIT graduates maintain a high level of military service or national service (95%), and they enter the army and the workforce equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century. AMIT maintains a balance of 70% of its schools in Israel’s periphery (disadvantaged areas) and 30% in the more affluent center of Israel. When new schools are admitted to the network, this balance is maintained. On June 14, 2020, they have organized a Virtual Tour of Israel where they have presented the first National Mother-in-Israel.[5] Contents 1 History 2 AMIT today 2.1 Fundraising 3 List of AMIT schools 3.1 Acco 3.2 Afula 3.3 Ashdod 3.4 Ashkelon 3.5 Beersheva 3.6 Beit Shemesh 3.7 Givat Shmuel 3.8 Haifa 3.9 Hatzor HaGlilit 3.10 Jerusalem 3.11 Karmiel 3.12 Kiryat Malachi 3.13 Ma'ale Adumim 3.14 Mateh Yehuda 3.15 Meitar 3.16 Modi'in 3.17 Netanya 3.18 Or Akiva 3.19 Petach Tikvah 3.20 Ra'anana 3.21 Ramat Gan 3.22 Ramle 3.23 Rehovot 3.24 Rosh Pina 3.25 Sderot 3.26 Shoham 3.27 Tel Aviv 3.28 Tzfat 3.29 Yerucham 4 Archival materials 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History[edit] AMIT was founded on May 10, 1925, by Bessie Gotsfeld, and was then known as the Mizrachi Women's Organization of America.[6] It officially incorporated on October 2, 1930.[4] As early as 1934, AMIT was at the forefront of Youth children from Europe and their resettlement in Palestine. In the years ahead, and immediately following the end of the war in Europe, AMIT participated in the resettlement of thousands of children — many of them orphans — who survived the Holocaust. The survivors of the Holocaust were followed by the large influx of Jews from North Africa and the Arab countries in 1948-49. Again, AMIT's resources were tested as its facilities were flooded by the pressing needs of tens of thousands of newly arrived immigrant children. In 1955, the first contingent of Ethiopian Jews arrived and in the 1970s, the great Russian immigration began. With each new development in Israel's history AMIT responded, opening new schools and facilities to meet the demands of a growing population of children in need. In 1981, AMIT was designated by the Israeli government as its official Reshet (network) for religious secondary technological education. This landmark event set the stage for a major expansion of AMIT's educational facilities (which continues to this day) as municipalities with faltering school systems seek out AMIT to take over and dramatically improve their local facilities. AMIT today[edit] AMIT operates 108 schools, youth villages, surrogate family residences and other programs, constituting Israel’s only government-recognized network of religious Jewish education incorporating academic and technological studies. AMIT students boast an 85% (bagrut) matriculation rate, exceeding the national average of 70% among Israeli Jewish students.[citation needed] More than 95% of its graduates enlist in the Israel Defense Forces or perform national service.[citation needed] Fundraising[edit] AMIT schools are funded by local municipalities, Israel's Ministry of Education and generous supporters. It is support from individuals that help take the schools from good to great. List of AMIT schools[edit] .

New York, NY 10018 Meet Iconic Women Who Made Herstory on AMIT’s Virtual Tour through Israel Come meet our Wonder Women! They have no special lassos or bracelets. They do have the impassioned determination of Jewish women – of Mothers. AMIT is proud to present our first National Mother-in-Israel virtual event on Sunday, June 14, 2020 12 noon EST, 11 a.m. CST, 9 a.m. PST and 7 p.m. Israel time. Don't miss your chance to experience Jewish “herstory" together with women across the country and in Israel, get to know inspiring women who've greatly impacted Israel and, virtually tour the country! Your support of AMIT’s Mother-in-Israel campaign will raise much-needed funds for our 37,500 students, each of whom was deeply affected when the pandemic forced schools to close for months and left many families bereft. “I'm certain that AMIT's National Mother-in-Israel virtual event will be edifying and gratifying for all who participate, women, men, mothers and others,” said Debbie Moed, AMIT national chair of the Mother-in-Israel campaign. “Now more than ever, it's so important for us to strengthen Israel by supporting our schools. Mothers have always been the builders of the Jewish nation. AMIT’s Mother-in-Israel campaign will help ensure their future.” Tour highlights include a visit to Tiveria to learn about Dona Gracia Nasi, who single-handedly saved thousands of Jews during the Inquisition, and a stop at Israel’s Supreme Court to hear how Esther Hayut, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, rose to become Chief Justice.
