This young lady is an entrepreneur with her heart in the right place.� �She is selling lemonade, Kool Aid, and yes, fine art Judaica, in order to raise money for Chai Lifeline,

Chai Lifeline is a leading international children’s health support network, providing social, emotional, and financial assistance to children with life-threatening and lifelong illnesses and their families through a variety of year-round programs and services.

As people walk or drive by on this scorching erev, erev Tisha B’Av they stop to purchase an ice cold drink from an adorable fourth-grader, in her soft-spoken voice she offers them an opportunity to purchase a unique piece of judaica art entitled, “Man in Tallis.”

The young lady attends Bnos Beis Yaakov and lives in Lawrence, New York, on a rather busy thoroughfare.

If the piece does not sell before Shabbos, it will be available for sale to the highest bidder.� The author will convey the highest bid to the young entrepreneur’s mother. Deadline is 7:30 PM Friday.

Only in the Five Towns.

A gutten Erev Shabbos and an easy and meaningful fast.

The bid can be submitted to [email protected]
