Students packing shoes for chesed

Ramaz is rooted in its commitment to menschlichkeit and helping those in need. Our students recognize the importance of emulating God through acts of loving-kindness. The chesed we strive to promote in our students is rooted in a sense of responsibility to serve the Jewish people and all of humanity -- leading with kindness to improve the world!
