Nine kids from Campanella Children's
Choir's Treble Choir took part in a charity concert that raised money
for a children's summer camp in Sderot, Israel.
Located near the Gaza strip, the city
of Sderot faces a number of economic challenges, and it has been a
frequent target of rocket attacks. Since 2000, Boston's
Russian-Jewish community has been raising money for the Boston-Sderot Project - a ten-day program
that would take kids out of the city for 10 days and give them a
chance to relax and have fun.
To help fund the program, the
Russian-Jewish community has been holding annual concerts for a
number of years. This year, Chicago area's Russian-Jewish community
has worked together to organize a concert of its own.
The Children Of Chicago to Children Of
Sderot took place on April 6, at Northbrook Community Synagogue of
Northbrook, Illinois. The concert was so well-attended that the
synagogue parking was filled and guests had to park along the nearby
streets.
The Treble Choir kids are grateful for
the opportunity to take part in this event, and they were happy to
lend their voices to such a worthwhile cause.
