Third and fourth grade students in Beth Israel’s Sunday School program set out to make a difference after learning about Tikun Olam, the Jewish tradition of repairing the world. They learned to braid fabric and made dog toys, which they then donated to the Ocean City Humane Society. They chose the Humane Society because one student had adopted a dog there. In the accompanying note, the students wrote that they wanted to provide the toys so that the dogs won’t feel as sad and lonely.
