On Sunday, December 21, 2014 (29 Kislev, 5775), many Jews around the US will all join together in their homes and at their local JCCs, synagogues, or schools to participate in an international and unique event, to light the 6th candle of Chanukah on Facebook and Twitter.
This project is part of the Jewish Projects initiative, which supports various social, welfare, educational, and religious projects in Israel. The goal of the 6th Chanukah Candle is to reach 2,500 new partners. All donations are tax deductible in the US (501(c)3) and UK.
Jewish Projects–a bridge to Tikun Olam challenges–specializes in resource development to promote critical social Jewish projects using the Internet, social networks, and campaigns to attract partners, friends, and support for nonprofit organizations in Israel and around the world.
Jewish Projects will fund, monitor, and administrate social investments to achieve measurable results and meet the goals and objectives of both funders and recipients.
Chanan Ziderman, founder and CEO, brings to Jewish Projects remarkable passion for social challenges and extensive experience of over 25 years in the fields of resource development, marketing, and international public relations. Chanan, a former IDF military infantry fighter and a major in reserve duty, is a graduate of Netiv Meir Yeshiva and completed BA studies in Geography and International Relations at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
