Education Through Action

We all desire to live in a peaceful and loving society. Recently hate has been on the rise and the world seems to be drifting further away from peace and tolerance.

There is a simple but powerful act each human being can do to change the world for good.

While charity boxes have been around for years, the tzedakah or charity campaign initiated by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, aims to educate people of all ages to be more caring by dropping a small amount of money into a charity box every weekday. The small yet profound act of giving, changes how we feel about ourselves and others and revolutionizes our sense of purpose and perspective.

Through nurturing the inherent goodness within everything and cultivating the latent empathy we all possess, we can change ourselves and the world around us for the better, ushering in an era of global peace and tranquility.

The Tzedakah - charitable giving - campaign to educate everyone to become a giver, was a result of the Rebbe's clarion call to inspire humanity to greater moral and ethical heights through positive and consistent action. 

The philosophy:

• People are influenced by the things they do more than by the information they are taught.

• Childhood is the prime time to cultivate compassion and kindness. Children also influence adults to do the same. This creates a stronger culture of giving in society.

• Having a dedicated charity box in which to place money every day provides a visual reminder of the importance of giving.

• Compassion and kindness are strengthened by consistency. Giving small amounts of charity every day causes one to become a caring person.
