The Galilee Circus performing in the US.

One of our readers, David, will be spreading a little happiness this holiday season, after winning our Rosh Ha’Shana competition.

We asked readers to choose their top charity, and to explain why they felt this charity should receive a $25 gift voucher from JGooders.

Out of a choice of eight, David picked the Galilee Circus, a troupe set up in the Galilee to bring Jewish and Arab children together to learn circus skills and put on performances.

In his comment, David said:

“The Galilee Circus – the effort brings many smiles to folks who could use it, while working on reducing stereotypes – key for a peaceful co-existence.”

We’ve featured Galilee Circus a couple of times on ISRAEL21c. You can see our features here:

Many thanks to everyone who took part in the competition. The final word goes to Tova, one of our readers who said:

“These are all amazing causes – and even if you don’t win, you can think about making a small gift in honor of the new year…..I personally did so.”
