[RBS] ZICHRON MENACHEM - THE LOCAL HAIR DONATING EVENT

[Rivka Ester Rothstein]

ASHREINU, BEIT SHEMESH! (including Rama Aleph, Beit, Nachala Menucha &
Heftziba)

 

In but a quickly organized event to coincide with the nationwide campaign to
gather donations of hair to be made into wigs or otherwise benefit young
people battling cancer, girls and women of the area donated 35 braids of at
least 30 centimeters each!

 

If you or your daughters are interested, I'm happy to still serve as the
collection point, and have all the relevant information, forms & envelopes
for hair donation which are welcome at any time during the year.  As an
educational point:  we all try to inculcate the lessons of tzedaka and
chesed to our children, but rarely do they have the opportunity to be the
actual givers.  One Mother came in with her three daughters, ages 10, 8 & 6
- we have gorgeous photographs of them smiling broadly with their new
hairstyles while they hold their shorn braids, and they have the sense of
having done a huge chessed!  So start growing now and you/they'll be ready
for next year's event! (*bli neder!)

 

I'd like to publicly thank the following people/institutions/stores, all of
whom donated to the success of the event:

 

Rav Rosner Tiferet Seminary & the Tiferet girls, for donating the space and
their volunteer assistance.

Sifrei Geula, HaKol l'Shulchan, & Big Deal for all donating items to make
the event a success.
