"One of the greatest lessons my father taught me was to give" Elie Wiesel

1.5 million children were the victims of Nazi terror. To honor their memory we are donating 100% of the 1.5 million pennies ($15,000) raised to families who have been impacted by terrorism in Israel. We seek to help those who lost a wage earner and are having trouble putting food on the table and making ends meet. We are not using an intermediary organization; you are guaranteed that every penny will be sent to families in need. A donation of $100 will feed a family of four for approximately one week.

The "1.5 Million Penny" drive is a very important nation-wide fundraising effort established by eighteen year old Emily Dubois, the Palo Alto United Synagogue Youth Social Action Vice President. It involves synagogues and Jewish day schools from all over the Bay Area and it has most recently gained national support! We have collected and donated more than $20,000 which has far exceeded the original goal, thanks to your efforts.

Each one of us can make a huge difference. Let's do our best to help those in need in Israel during these difficult times. Thank you very much for your generous support.
