Ahead of the Passover holiday, students at AMIT Hammer Junior and Senior High School for Boys transformed their school into a “chesed factory,” where they packed boxes of food and other provisions for 200 families in need.
In recent weeks, the boys raised more than NIS 15,000 (about $4,300) that they used to buy basic goods for the holiday as a way to help Israeli families offset the cost of buying Passover supplies.
The students got to work packing the supplies in 200 boxes set out at the school, then loaded them into cars for delivery. Even the teachers loaded up boxes into their cars and set out to deliver them.
Rabbi Rafi Maimon, the school’s principal, said, “It was moving to watch the students invest their time and give of themselves so that other families can have a happy holiday.”
