In the book of Proverbs, King Solomon wrote of endless important lessons that are crucial to teach the next generation. Among the many teachings is that of treating the less fortunate with dignity and respect, and to aid your fellow when he or she is in need (see Proverbs 19). This wonderful trait of giving is emphasized in the prayers on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, where it is written "Repentance, Prayer, and Charity: these will reverse the decree". Indeed, one organization has truly taken this message to heart. As the new year quickly approaches, Meir Panim has promised to go to any lengths necessary to bring a happy, healthy, and sweet New Year to the needy of the Holy Land.
