Thank you for visiting. This cause is very dear to us and we appreciate all the support we can get. Together we can make a difference.

We were inspired to help someone less fortunate than ourselves celebrate their own Bar Mitzvah. Your donations will be used to support an Israeli orphan have their Bar Mitzvah celebration during our stay.

Every year, Colel Chabad sponsors a mass Bar/Bat Mitzvah for children who have lost a father or mother. Each of these events is in fact a multitude of intimate Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations for hundreds of orphaned children and their families.

At the culminating ceremony each Bar Mitzvah boy receives a new pair of Tefillin, and each Bat Mitzvah girl is presented with a beautiful Bat Mitzvah gift.

Following the ceremony, a joyous full-course banquet with live music and dancing takes place, with the participation of their families and close friends. Professional photographers are on hand to create a dedicated souvenir album for each child.

They are also honored by the presence of major rabbinic and civic leaders who bring greetings, blessings and the love of the entire nation.

Thank you for helping us. We look forward to sharing our experience with you.

Best - Jonah and James
