My name is Tehilla Faiga Etya Sanders, but I go by Tehilla. I\u2019m 12 years old from Pomona, New York, and I\u2019m the oldest of four siblings. I have three brothers and no sisters. One of my brothers has special needs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n My father\u2019s chummus<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oyster steak<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Reese’s peanut butter cups<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n My father\u2019s schnitzel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And last but CERTAINLY not least: Pizza Hut in Israel! (To be specific, the stuffed crust.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t have a favorite sport to play, but\u2026 I LOVE watching hockey games. I\u2019ve been rooting for the New York Rangers since I was born.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n My favorite subject in school is what every kid would say: Recess! I enjoy Chumash and Current Events, but I wouldn\u2019t say they\u2019re my favorite subjects.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n When it\u2019s not hockey season, I enjoy playing football \u2013 and kvetching that I\u2019m bored, which makes me not bored anymore!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n I didn\u2019t want a big party for my Bat Mitzvah, so my mother, grandmother, and I planned a whole itinerary and went to Israel. We wanted to do something special in honor of my Bat Mitzvah and thought chessed was a great idea. We chose Pantry Packers because we heard they have a great Bar\/Bat Mitzvah program. The mission – seeing how many people we helped \u2013 was very powerful to me. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The experience was amazing. The atmosphere was great and energetic when Aviva Wallick (the director of advancement at Pantry Packers) was around \u2013 she just makes chessed fun!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n My favorite part of Pantry Packers was watching my plaque getting put on the wall. I raised enough money to get my plaque, and I\u2019m grateful to my family and friends for generously donating in honor of my Bat Mitzvah.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n My message to all the Bar\/Bat Mitzvah kids is to never give up an opportunity. If you see a shot to do chessed, do it right away.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bat Mitzvah Fundraiser My name is Tehilla Faiga Etya Sanders, but I go by Tehilla.

What made you decide to volunteer for Pantry Packers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Did anything special happen that you can share with us?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The most special thing that happened was that I came back the next day to pack for Israel’s hungry again.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is your message to other children turning Bar\/Bat Mitzvah?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of hockey’s greatest players was Wayne Gretzky. He has a quote that really speaks to me: “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” That quote reminds me of seeing an opportunity to do chessed and doing it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If someone is thinking about doing Pantry Packers, I\u2019d tell them to do it right away \u2013 and even go again the next day.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
