The Jerusalem Post reports: More than 1.3million Israelis took part Tuesday in more than 14,000 projects throughout the country to mark the tenth annual Good Deeds Day, a project encouraging people to volunteer and give back to the community.
The day, initiated by Ruach Tova (‘Good Spirit’), a nonprofit organization that is part of the Ted Arison Family Foundation, saw schools and youth groups, businesses, soldiers and students give back some four million hours of volunteering.
