Teenagers are being introduced to the traditions of Jewish philanthropy through a new program of the Jewish Federation of Central New Jersey.

The B'nai Tzedek Program allows students entering grades six through 12 to establish a fund with a minimum contribution of $1,000.

After that, the budding philanthropists can recommend an allocation of about 5 percent from their fund to any Jewish charity of their choice, in this country or abroad."
