Blue Box Bob -- a colorful, costumed character made to look like one of the Jewish National Fund's signature tzedakah (charity) boxes -- connects students to modern Israel while teaching them its history. At HAMC, Blue Box Bob shared stories about Israel and spoke to students about the role that JNF has in taking care of the land of Israel. Our students were thrilled and had a great time with Bob!
The Blue Box Bob Program is a multi-component educational program for Jewish day, afternoon, and Sunday schools. It is designed to use stories and innovative educational materials to foster themes such as nation building, connection to Israel, and how to help take care of others. It is a program of the Jewish National Fund, a non-profit organization founded in 1901 to serve as caretaker of Israel, on behalf of its owners -- Jewish people everywhere. Over the past century, JNF has planted more than 240 million trees, built over 180 reservoirs and dams, developed more than 250,000 acres of land, created more than 1,000 parks, provided the infrastructure for 1,000 communities, and educated students around the world about Israel and the environment.
