.:: Welcome To The Jewish Ledger ::.: "Four Hartford area Jewish agencies were named recipients of the first grants awarded by the Teen Leadership and Philanthropy Institute of Yachad, the Greater Hartford Jewish community high school. Announcement of the grants was made at a special assembly marking the culmination of the Institute's inaugural year and the graduation of its nine participating teens.
'Giving as individuals is important, but the mission of the Institute is to teach our next generation of Jewish community leaders how to make responsible philanthropic decisions on behalf of the community,' says the Institute's program director, Cyral Sheldon.
Preparing the teens for their ultimate task - that is, to select programs to fund from among several proposals - was a year-long process that began with the study of the concept of tzedakah from a Judaic textual perspective led by Yachad faculty member Rabbi Steven Chatinover."
