Support the New Charleston Jewish Community Kosher Food Pantry

Did you know that just $5 equals 1 nutritious meal? The Charleston Jewish Community Kosher Food Pantry is our Jewish communal response to hunger in Charleston and reflects our commitment to the Jewish values of Tzedakah (justice), Tikkun Olam (repair of the world) and to serving community members in need with Kavod (respect). Right now, millions of American are struggling with hunger. These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days. Click here for more information on the food pantry.

 

2012 Holocaust Creative Arts & Writing Competition

The REMEMBER Program for Holocaust and Genocide Education is sponsoring a Creative Arts Competition for Greater Charleston area students grades 6-12. The theme for 2012 is "I Will Not be a Bystander."  We encourage entries in literature, visual arts, music, and the performing arts.

In the 1930s, some people were perpetrators of violence or rescuers, but the majority of individuals were bystanders to the injustices that led to the Holocaust. We study the Holocaust to affect our behavior and bring about change. How can we, as individuals create a more just society? What actions can we take to prevent genocide?
