Every year, the Menachem Education Foundation rallies community support for Chinuch in a Charidy matching funds campaign. Last year, we had no idea what the new year would bring for Chinuch. But after twelve months of unprecedented upheaval for education and uncharted territory, we are proud to say that we did not let you down.
When the whole world pressed pause, Chabad Chinuch pressed play, and MEF was there to help make it possible. Pandemic notwithstanding, this year MEF trained 2,300 in distance learning, enabled 183 public students to enroll in Jewish Day Schools through the Our Heritage program, invested in 100 teachers and school leaders with targeted programs, and much more.
That’s why MEF is turning to the community to donate to our largest ever Charidy campaign, raising $500,000 in 33 hours on Tuesday-Wednesday Dec. 8-9 – 22-23 Kislev. Your contribution will help support a stronger Chinuch than ever before for 17,500 students in Chabad schools worldwide. Please help us Fuel the Momentum at charidy.com/MEF.
In a time of crisis, MEF was able to pivot to provide teachers and schools with their most urgent needs. At the same time, we have not lost sight of the goal, with ongoing programs only growing and impacting more teachers and students worldwide.
Whether by seizing a shining moment for Jewish Day Schools to enroll ever more students for Torah-true Chinuch, building strong leadership able to effectively react to crisis and plan for future growth, or empowering teachers with tools for student engagement that can enhance learning both online or in the classroom, now is the time to turn crisis into opportunity. As the situation evolves, now is the time to hit the ground running. But we can’t do it without you. Fuel the momentum and donate to Chabad Chinuch at charidy.com/MEF today.
