Holzband Endowment Tree

 

A child asked an elderly man, “Why are you planting that carob tree? It’s not going to produce fruit during your lifetime.” The elderly man replied, “Those before me planted trees so that I could enjoy their fruit; now it is my turn to provide for those who come after me.”

 

A donation for a leaf or stone on Houston Hillel’s Holzband Endowment Tree becomes part of the Holzband Endowment Fund, the proceeds of which provide for Jewish student programming in the years to come.

Please consider a leaf in honor of a graduating student, to celebrate the achievement of someone close to you, or to memorialize family or friends.

 

You can arrange for a leaf or stone in a number of ways.
