This grant funded the development of a series of monthly newsletters for new parents and their children from birth to five years to help instill Jewish values.
Today, there are thirteen regular issues and three holiday issues of “Apples and Honey” published per year. Each issue has information about children’s developmental stages, Jewish traditions and customs, ideas for celebrating holidays, and hands-on activities. The issues are designed to be “evergreen,” remaining relevant over time. Sales of the newsletter bring in approximately $1,000 of revenue each year (at $3.25 per issue before bulk discounts).
