Due to the difficult matzav in Eretz Yisrael, the girls in the Bais Yaakov of Queens have been involved in various initiatives. Through these means, they have been demonstrating their ahavas Yisrael, their desire to be nosei b’ol chaveiro, and their g’milas chasadim. One important initiative is Match-A-Mitzvah, where each girl chooses a mitzvah to focus on more carefully as a z’chus for y’shuos in Eretz Yisrael. Another one, called Shabbos of Chesed, has the girls filling in a bookmark listing the chasadim they will perform on Shabbos, for example: set the table and babysit for younger siblings, as a z’chus for klal Yisrael.
