During the month of November 2009, thousands of Jewish school children throughout the world will be fundraising in order to buy donuts for Israeli soldiers. In a world-encompassing project, Standing Together (http://www.stogether.org), is working in conjunction with Jewish day schools, Hebrew Schools, organizations and synagogues to raise money to distribute donuts to Israeli soldiers, Israel’s modern day Maccabies. During the festival of Chanukah it is traditional to eat donuts. This year, these donuts will not only symbolize the festival of Chanukah, but the deep connection felt by Jewish children with their brothers and sisters in Israel.
