The mitzvah I am dedicating myself to:
Instead of going on a fun beach vacation over break, my family and I decided to go on a mission to Israel with our community Rabbi. I was able to see first hand the atrocities of what happened on October 7th. I went to army bases, spoke, ate and danced with the Chayalim. I packaged Shabbat food and baskets for displaced families. In addition, I volunteered at a farm to pick their crops. This was the most memorable vacation I ever had with my family!
We are grateful to the entire SAR community. Am Yisrael Hai, Sclar Family
