TPI is Flying High Students in the Teen Philanthropy Institute (TPI) at the JCC on the Palisades are continuing to learn about chesed, tzedakah, and tikkun olam opportunities. Sarita Rosenstock, a 10th grade student from Princeton, NJ, a former Areyvut Bnai Mitzvah Essay Contest Winner, was the guest lecturer at the last session. She spoke about her Bat Mitzvah project which involved raising awareness and educating people about the genocide in Darfur and the surrounding region. Sarita has since co-founded an independent student run organization called Raising Awareness Destination: Darfur (R.A.D.D.). The students were truly inspired by her words. The TPI program is spreading throughout the country! Areyvut is pleased to serve as a consultant to several agencies that are interested in bringing TPI to their communities. If you are interested in learning more about TPI or bringing TPI to your community, please contact Rothner at (201) 244-6702 or daniel@....
