MJDS 7th grade Voice of the Children project featured in the Jewish Daily Forward. “For many Jewish children, the idea of charity often means dropping change into a bright-blue tzedakah box. Sure, the collected money goes to charitable organizations, but how do you measure whether the kids’ own efforts have any noticeable effect? Now, one group of students is getting the opportunity to see its money at work.” August 21, 2009.

A perfect gift for the holidays! MJDS Celebrity Cookbook on sale now! Please read the latest national review by Alanat. “In 2001, as do many schools, the Milwaukee Jewish Day School created a cookbook with the goal of raising funds for their school. But, unlike many schools before them, the Milwaukee Jewish Day School solicited stories and recipes from Jewish celebrities – and actually received replies which included autographed pictures, personal tales and – of all things – recipes! This is one FUN cookbook.” August 12, 2009
