Let’s Help Students in Hadera, Israel!

It’s time for the 18th Annual 2 Backpacks, 2 Kids, 2 Countries, 2 Cool Campaign!

When your family goes back-to-school Shopping, you can purchase a new backpack and an extra backpack for a student living in Greater Raleigh’s sister city of Hadera, Israel.  Therefore, this project involves 2 backpacks (one to keep and one to donate), 2 kids (American and Israeli), and 2 Countries (USA and Israel).

In Israel, families must purchase both textbooks and backpacks, and they are quite expensive.  Many parents in Hadera are unable to afford backpacks for their children. The social workers in this community have asked us to continue this project as it fills an important need.

Please consider buying a new backpack (without wheels) and bringing it to one of the following locations by September 18, 2023 to be collected in a purple box: 

  • Beth Meyer Synagogue

  • Beth Shalom

  • Chabad of Cary

  • Congregation Sha’arei Israel

  • JCC of Greater Raleigh

  • Jewish Federation of Greater Raleigh office

  • Temple Beth Or

Thank you for your continued support during these past eighteen years!
