What Will We Do
Next? – you’ll go back to your community and take an active
role in chesed activities. What
did you learn from participating in Shvuayim? “I learned how much I can make a difference. I learned the power of a simple ‘hello’ for a person who is usually shunned. I learned to appreciate my own life and luxuries much more. When I worry about brand names, others are worrying about food for dinner. I also learned how important it is to treat people with dignity and not judge people solely on how they look or what they have. I gained a larger perspective and a greater awareness to the world around me and I learned I have a place in the greater world.” - Avi Miller, Shvuayim 2004 For
