Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Celebrating a Bar and Bat Mitzvah is something we may take for granted but this is not the case for Ethiopian children who have recently arrived in Israel.  FZY together with the UJIA are providing young Ethiopians with a communal Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony, bringing joy and enrichment to hundreds of children and their families.

Together we provide: 

*  Bar/Bat Mitzvah lessons for participants

*  Shabbat together promoting spiritual and social bonding

*  Organisation and volunteering programme

*  Elegant clothes, shoes and jeans for weekdays

*  Sets of Talitot and Tefilin for all the boys and candlesticks for all the girls

*  Siddurim for all the participants

*  Silver necklaces with a Magen David for all the girls

*  Three day seminar in Jerusalem               

*  Transportation to Jerusalem for family members to join in the Simcha together with staff and guards

*  Renting the Great Synagogue for the ceremony and lunch

*  Band for Simcha dancing

*  Spending money for each participant as a gift

*  Photographs for all the celebrants and their families

Please help this very worthy cause by sposoring us to run the Jerusalem 10k (half marathon for the brave ones) and make a substantial difference to these Ethiopian children's lives.

Thank you!
