Thanks to Schmerling Chocolate, thousands of Ukrainian children will have something to smile about this Chanukah! Nearly 2,000 pounds of chocolate was donated to JRNU and will be used to create special holiday packages; other donated items such as strawberry filled cupcakes and peanut butter cups will be included as well. For many children there is little to smile about this year--they have been in the cold and dark with limited power and internet, separated from family and loved ones--lots of children even lost their homes. This Chanukah, the tradition of giving tzedakah (charity) has new meaning for all of us; we are doing what we can to show the children of Ukraine they are not forgotten.
