What it does

It pairs collectible kosher-themed rubber ducks with a global community of Quackers, an interactive sightings map, and educational and interfaith programming. From cruise ships to city parks, from Atlanta to Athens, the ducks carry mitzvahs that float.

Cheryl Dorchinsky took a whimsical trend — people hiding little rubber ducks on cruise ships, on strangers’ cars, in the ordinary corners of a day — and gave it a Jewish spin. Kosher-themed ducks, left anonymously, for whoever finds them.

Every duck carries a tag with a QR code. Scan it and you land on the sightings map, where each pin is a real duck found by a real person — a cruise-ship buffet in the Bahamas, the Chagall windows in Jerusalem, a car wash in South Carolina, a burger joint in Athens.

Donated stuffed animals and toys heaped around an open suitcase in the corner of a room, being packed for a relief delivery.

What it runs

How it relates to AIC

KDR is an initiative of AIC — the nonprofit Cheryl leads. Every duck adopted helps fund its education, community, and relief work. The duck is the joyful front door; the work behind it is real.

Where your money goes.

Most of what you pay for a duck is a tax-deductible gift to AIC — funding education, community-building, and relief work. How much exactly depends on which ducks you pick, and the receipt we email you shows the figure to the cent.
