Preparing for your Bar/Bat Mitzvah gives you the perfect opportunity to reflect on the positive impact you have had on others and how best to continue on this path. By participating in a Bar/Bat Mitzvah Project, you are given the chance to select a cause that is important to you. You can give back to your community or the world at large in any number of ways including volunteering, centerpieces, doing a service project at your party, fundraising, giveaways, raising awareness about a cause or agency and philanthropic funds……the list is endless. Here are some tips on how to help you select a project to add to your celebration:
• Consider what becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah means to you.
• Think about challenges in the world that you would like your Bnai Mitzvah project to address.
• Think about Mitzvah Projects your friends and relatives have done. What did you like about them?
• Contact organizations with whom you can partner for your project.
• Learn more about the problem you are addressing.
• Include information about your project and the agency you are working with in your invitation, at the service or party.
