Mister G - We’ll Make Things Better Together
EVERYTHING is better together, just take it from Latin GRAMMY-winner Mister G! Whether you’re doing mitzvot (good deeds), engaging in tikkun olam (repairing the world) or even just making a meal or music with others, the world is better when we work (and play) together!
Research has shown that young children who are encouraged to give tzedakah (charity) from a young age are more likely to grow up to be philanthropic adults. Here’s a tutorial for making a beautiful tzedakah box. When your child’s box is full, help them decide where they would like to donate their money.

When it comes to finding miracles, you’ve got to keep your “Eyes Wide Open!” As we approach the holiday of miracles, sing along with Billy Jonas and his band and take a look around!
The hamsa is a hand-shaped symbol with an eye at the center that is commonly used in Jewish art and jewelry. It is said to ward off the “evil eye” or bad luck, but it can also be a reminder to keep our eyes open to the world and others. Learn how to make your own decorative hamsa using aluminum foil, cardboard, and a toothpick. https://kidworldcitizen.org/good-luck-hamsa-craft/
