More than 500 Orthodox Jewish schoolchildren will receive backpacks filled with a variety of needed school supplies as volunteers ranging from kids to grandparents packed the knapsacks at the United Jewish Appeal Federation-New York Supplies for Success event at Yeshiva of South Shore in Hewlett last Sunday. The Tov B’Yachad program to help disadvantaged Orthodox Jewish children began at Young Israel of Woodmere in 2009. Tov B’Yachad is a UJA initiative that strengthens the connection between the Orthodox community and the organization.
