The Big B'Mitzvah Appeal allows Bat and Bar Mitzvah children to share their simcha with children in need. A Bat or Bar Mitzvah is a hugely important milestone in a young Jewish person's life and a time of great celebration. It's also a time when they receive an awful lot of cheques!

If you're celebrating your Bat or Bar Mitzvah, we'd like to ask you to donate just a little bit of your gift money to help children with special needs.

Friends and family members of a Bat or Bar Mitzvah child can help too by giving a donation on behalf of the Bat or Bar Mitzvah child instead of a present (or alongside a smaller gift).

All the money raised in Manchester will go to The Federation of Jewish Services (FJS) to fund an indoor sensory room and an outdoor play area for children with special needs. If you live anywhere else in the UK, please contact us to find a project you'd like to support.
