On Sunday, April 22, the Great Neck Jewish community is proud to be sponsoring a Mitzvah Walk of Hope to benefit Tikva Childrenís Home in the Odessa region of Ukraine. This walk is being organized by members of Temple Beth-El of Great Neck, Temple Israel of Great Neck and Temple Sinai of Roslyn. The walk will begin at 1:30 p.m. from Temple Beth-El and at 1:35 p.m. from Temple Israel, with registration beginning 15 minutes prior at each location.†

The Tikva Childrenís Home was created to address the growing crises of orphaned, abandoned and homeless Jewish children in the Odessa region.† Jewish communities, congregations, JCCs and day schools around the country will be sponsoring walk-a-thons to raise money and awareness for this wonderful organization on that day.†

One hundred percent of all contributions go to rescuing young lives from poverty, misfortune and, too often, abuse, and to provide them with food, shelter, clothing, psychological support, an excellent education, and, most importantly, love.

The Mitzvah Walk is open to the entire community.†
