Philanthropists in trainingCES-JDS students make bar/bat mitzvah grants: "The girl in green smiles as she holds four fingers up in the air while a few seats down, the bespectacled boy in the red cap soberly raises his index.
With her high rating and his lower one, Ilia Esrig and Reuben Jacobson, both students at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School, are helping decide how to make $500 count.
Their small gestures ‹ combined with others from the 10 other eighth-graders around the table ‹ could boost the budgets of a handful of nonprofit ventures near and far.
The dozen decision makers, aided by a trained facilitator, CES-JDS president Nancy Hamburger, are part of the Charles E. Smith B'nai Mitzvah Tzedakah Project piloting this fall at the Rockville day school."
