Tzedakah: from the Hebrew root for justice, charitable giving.
Local needy families on the Vineyard have been assisted through generous donations from the Hebrew Center: We have helped with transportation to pediatric medical appointments, utilities assistance and many other challenging life situations.
Global Tzedakah funds have gone to hurricane ravaged cities, environmental advocacy abroad and, with your support, to aid detained children in reuniting with their parents.
Your donations are desperately needed and very much appreciated by those who benefit from them.
