To kick off Chanukah at JKHA and RKYHS, the whole school participated in a Yom Chesed. Each division engaged in a variety of activities to promote chesed within the greater community. Middle school students packed bags for Tomchei Shabbos for families in need for Shabbat Chanukah, packed snack packs for nurses and other hospital workers on Covid floors, and packed Shabbat Kit boxes to distribute to families who need to spend Shabbat in the hospital, as well as including handmade cards. Early childhood and lower school decorated name tags to give to healthcare workers and volunteers at vaccination centers.
