A Skokie high school has turned to baking to help Israeli soldiers on the front lines.
One of their teachers is visiting Israel right now and desperate to get home. While she waits for a flight, she's rounding up her own troops at home – the students to turn baked goods into profits.
Gold, a teacher at Skokie's Ida Crown Jewish Academy, was in Jerusalem with family when missiles began flying overhead.In that moment, they cooked up a plan. The students would sell baked goods, and with the money raised, Gold would buy supplies. "We're sending the money that we're making, and she's single-handedly going and buying the supplies and driving it up to the army bases," said Jordana Zwelling, senior.
"She wrote a letter to one of the soldiers, she gave her WhatsApp number in the letter and said please give me your name so I can pray for you. He sent her back a voice note telling her how meaningful that letter was and just like it was beautiful," Gold said.
