Bet Sefer Fundraising Update
Over the past two months, the students of Bet Sefer have been working on their Tikkun Olam Project: selling chocolate Chanukah gelt made by local chocolatier Oscar Ortega.

Mountain Chai Chanukah Gelt sold by Bet Sefer Students.

The project allowed the students to learn about the Jewish context for social justice in real-life situations.The students directed the project, deciding which organizations to donate to, what type of chocolate they should sell, who to market to and how, and finally selling the product. In the end, the students sold about $2,700 worth of Mountain Chai Chanukah Gelt.
That proceeds will be divided among the local fire station, the Jackson Hole Food Pantry and Bet Sefer. The students learned an invaluable lesson; it's not about chocolate, it's about tikkun olam, repairing the world.
