[RBS] ZICHRON MENACHEM - THE LOCAL HAIR DONATING EVENT

[Aviva Rubin]

I would also like to include into the thanks below - Misperet Simona, located on the Shivah St.
Also she gave free haircuts for hair donors, helped fill out the forms, all done with a great warm smile. And she did an amazing job! (I personally can testify for that)

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.
