Andrea Pincus, of Washingtonville, admires the puppets made at Chabad Youth Zone by her two sons Chaim, 8 (left) and Jered, 5 (right).
GOSHEN, NY [CHI] — Using socks, googly eyes, felt and other creative materials, twenty-five children recently gathered to make puppets to be sent to victims of terror in Israel. Chabad’s Youth Zone Club, “Kids In Action For Israel”, carried out this unique project. The club, geared for children ages 5-12, meets monthly to do a good deed for others, and simultaneously has a special activity for their own enjoyment. This year, the children are gearing the charity projects to various causes in Israel. The hand-made puppets will be sent to a Chabad representative in Israel who will deliver the gifts to children who have been seriously injured through terrorist acts.
