Boys in Yeshiva Schools of Pittsburgh 8th grade have been raising money in various ways all year for their graduation trip. The boys agreed that, rather than use all the money for their own fun and enjoyment, they wanted to set aside a portion of it to tzedakah or to help others.
Aizik Gurevitz, one of the students in the class, is on shlichus in West Virginia, and told his classmates about a young man named Hunter, who attends his family’s Chabad house. Hunter very much wanted to commit to putting on tefillin each day, but was not able to afford his own pair. When the boys heard about this, they all agreed that this would be a wonderful use of their money.
With the money, a pair of tefillin was purchased and presented by Aizik to Hunter, who is now the proud owner of his own pair of tefillin!
What an amazing selfless act.
Kol hakoved to the boys for being willing to give up from themselves to help someone else.
A credit to the chinuch that their parents and teachers have given them.
That’s incredible! Just goes to show the values that are imparted in Yeshiva schools. That’s a Yeshiva I would send my kids to.
go aizik!
