Remember Hurricane Harvey? All the way back at the beginning of this school year, KDH jumped right in to help the Houston victims. We baked challot, sold them, and sent the money with Morah Sara's husband to Houston.
Yesterday KDH was busy with chesed again. This time the children got together and planned how to participate in cookies for Israel. What is cookies for israel? An over 3,000 sq.ft. flag to be made with 100,000 cookies will be put together in Atlanta on June 3rd.
The entire venture has been underwritten and now the 100,000 cookies need to be sponsored. This will raise $1,000,000 and set a Guinness world record.

The money will be given to three charities in Israel.
How could KDH get money to join this fundraiser?? We concluded that
cookies for cookies
would be fantastic! We would bake cookies and sell them. The money that we earn would be used to sponsor cookies.
The children came to the kitchen and gathered together all the supplies: flour, sugar, eggs, oil, baking soda, chocolate chips, vanilla and cookie sheets. Next, it was working together around the table, measuring, cracking eggs and mixing. Finally the cookies were ready for the oven. When they had baked we waited for them to cool and packed them up in cellophane bags tied with a blue ribbon.
Becker made the first sale. Miss Donna bought five cookies from him! Annika was so excited that she used her ingenuity to print some money.
The cookies are all packed up waiting for customers. We are proud of the KDH children who are so kind. Using their fantastic baking skills they began a year and ended it caring for others.
