On Monday, December 16, the Tzedakah Commission held its annual Goods and Services auction to help raise money for the chesed race that they conduct every year. The chesed race is a way of raising money for the organizations Rabbi Besser and many students visit when they go on the annual Chesed Mission to Israel in January. It is a race between each class to see who can raise the most money. Teachers and students committed to give a variety of goods or services for the winners of each auction. Tickets were sold during both lunches in the gym. Teachers donated free tutoring, lunch with students, and even funny prizes like chopstick lessons and an autographed AP chemistry textbook from Mr. Cohen. Students offered trips to Carvel and Starbucks. We could not have done it without everyone's support and help. Thank you for helping us raise Tzedakah and reaching our goal! ~Sophia Chabot
