Previous philanthropiessupported by AEPI have included: Shaarei Tzedek Hospital, ChaiLife, The U.SHolocaust Museum, Magen David Adom, Tay-Sachs Foundation and the Struggle forSoviet Jewry. AEPI intentionally chooses to support Jewish and Israel related causes asit recognizes the powerful role its members play in supporting the Jewish community.ZBT, in accord with Jewish tradition, distinguishes between service andphilanthropy, similar to the distinction made between Gemilut Chasadim and Tzedaka.ZBT defines service as "hands-on interaction with organizations or individuals thatbenefit from your time," and philanthropy as "the act of donating money to organizationsor individuals." 182During its New Member Education Program, called the "BrotherhoodCircle," ZBT emphasizes the importance of participation in service within theorganization outreaching with service to the broader community through incorporation ofthis philosophy throughout a member's fraternal years. The fraternity officially supportstwo philanthropies, the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and Maccabi World Union.• The Children's Miracle Network was adopted as ZBT's National Philanthropyin the summer of 2002. ZBT aids the 170 Children's Miracle NetworkHospitals, as the fraternity members visit the local CMN hospitals.
