During Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, 4G kicked off the “4G Aseres Yemei Teshuvah Challenge,” bringing together over 450 high school girls from different chapters across the country. All together, 480 girls joined a group chat where each day we received a new challenge designed to help us connect more deeply with each other and with Hashem during this powerful time of Teshuva. Each challenge was also dedicated in memory of someone who was killed on October 7.
Some of the challenges included writing thank-you letters to people in our lives who often go unnoticed, choosing a mitzvah we usually struggle with and doing it with joy, and setting reminders throughout the day to think about Hashem. After completing each challenge, every girl sent a sticker labeled “one more brick” to the group chat, causing hundreds of stickers to be sent each day. By the end, we sent a total 1,466 stickers, representing 1,466 personal growth challenges and mitzvot we accomplished—adding almost 1,500 “bricks” to the Beis Hamikdash in just 10 days!
This experience helped each of us build our personal relationships with Hashem while also contributing to the unity of Klal Yisrael through our 4G community. It showed us that even small steps of growth can make a huge difference.
