j. - Gideon Hausner students earn $52,000 for charity: "ideon Hausner students earn $52,000 for charity


In 1999, a program was begun at the Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School to teach students about philanthropy. “Avodah L’Olam,” in which the students do their own fund-raising and advocating for causes that are important to them, has since been moved to the high school level, with both the East Bay and South Bay having their own youth foundations.

With the program now in its sixth year at the Palo Alto-based Hausner, 38 seventh-graders this year raised a record-breaking $52,000."
