JUNIOR GABBAI

Charity collection program for the younger generation

Our Junior Gabbai program encourages and motivates children to partake in the holy efforts of Chibas Jerusalem from an early age. Those joining as Junior Gabbais learn the importance of charity and come to appreciate the great responsibility we all share to help those in Israel who are less fortunate than us.

Every gabbai receives his own soft charity bag and special gabbai badge! Junior Gabbais then make the rounds on Friday before candle lighting among neighbors and friends, and play a critical role in fundraising for the charity of Rabbi Meir Baal Haness Kolel Chibas Jerusalem.
