Story
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 . 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
* Transportation to 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!
