“I reimagined my March Break by participating in the Pay it Forward program. I never really understood how good it would feel to make someone else’s day until I experienced it firsthand. Every day of my March Break, I both learned about how volunteering is a huge part of Jewish identity and had an amazing time doing it while making so many new friends.”
