GOLD Thanks! Challenge
EARNS YOU THE GOLD THANKS! BADGE.
Towards the end of the section of our service called the Amidah, there are three blessings that offer thanks to God - one says thank you for being able to pray to God, one gives general thanks, and offers thanks for peace. This GOLD badge focuses on the middle of those three blessings.
In some ways, it's easy to say thank you when someone gives us something - we know it's important to say "thanks!" But it's a bit harder to say "thanks" for things not put directly in our hands. This might be the love of parents, the laugh of a baby, or a phone call from a grandparent we haven't seen in awhile.
YOUR TASK: Your task is to find 13 very special things you are thankful for - one thing on each of 13 days.
STEP ONE: Print the three sheets, "I'm Thankful For...." Each day, for 13 days, write down one thing you are thankful for. Keeping your eyes and heart open, try and write a different thing each day for which you are grateful.
STEP TWO: Read through your list - "13 Days of Thankfulness!" Choose 2 items you are most thankful for and send this short list to: ImGonnaStandUp@jecc.org [Subject line: GOLD 13 Days of Thankfulness] If you don't have an email account, ask your parent to send it.
STEP THREE: The next step will be taken by the people behind "I'm Gonna Stand Up" - we'll take your list and add it to the video we're making, "Modim Anahnu Lach - we're thankful to You!" It may take us a while to have enough of these to put into a new video, but we will let you know when to come back and check this webpage.
