It’s all about the children!
Jewish Child’s Day was founded in 1947 to give Jewish children and their families in Britain the opportunity to help children in Europe whose lives had been devastated by the Second World War. Its guiding principle was to educate Jewish children in the UK about the importance of Tzedakah (giving to charity) and chesed (acts of loving kindness) within Jewish law and tradition.
Although the causes have changed, the abiding principle remains the same. Through Jewish Child’s Day’s fundraising activities and events, children can increase their understanding of the continuing relevance of these mitzvot and broaden their experience of social action.
How can your school get involved?
Many schools have been allocated a grant from Jewish Child’s Day. See below how we have supported many schools.

Our special twinning programme allows children to choose to twin their special day with a child from a very different background – a special needs child from Israel, a child from a small community in Belarus or a child living in a children’s home.
We are certain that whichever route the children will choose, their twinning experience will be something very special – and one that they will cherish forever.

‘It’s a Good Day’, is a fun, uplifting and educational Flipbook Game for children and adults, in both English & Hebrew. It features a selection of random daily acts to choose from to bring you lots of ‘good’.
We believe that by doing at least one good thing each day, we can influence and make it a good day for ourselves and many others – a great message to learn from an early age.

To mark Jewish Child’s Day’s 75th Heritage year we reinstated our Chanukah Card Art Competition with JCoSS secondary school: ‘Find your #innerlight’
Year 7 students had to research about Jewish Child’s Day, find their inner creativity and invest time in creating amazing Chanukah card designs.
The winning submissions were transformed into beautiful Chanukah cards that were made available to purchase through our website, raising much needed funds supporting projects that benefit Jewish children who suffer from physical and emotional disabilities, neglect, abuse and financial hardship across the UK, Israel and smaller communities across the world.
The four fantastic winners won an Amazon voucher each – so well deserved!
All the other participants received our festive bookmarks for all their efforts.
Please contact us if you would like your school/Cheder to be part of our Chanukah competition 2023 on 020 8446 68804 or email sarah.maurice@jcd.uk.com
