Story
When Jacob was born, the first thing i said was, 'we cannot wait to get him Bar Mitzvah'ed' and 12 years later we are starting to plan the celebrations of him becoming a man.
However, we don't belong to a synagogue and we cannot afford to get him private bar mitzvah lessons, where he has to learn a portion of the Torah, to sing in front of his family and friends.
I have no grandparents left to share the event, and Jacob lost his Dad when he was 4, so to have a bar mitzvah would mean a lot to him and our remaining family, we would be so proud and it would be a momentous occasion to celebrate how wonderful Jacob is.
When I wrote about this on social media, our amazing and kind friends pulled together and offered to pay a lesson each!
Lessons are on average £30 each, now we don't expect everyone to help but we were so overwhelmed by the generosity of offers that Jacob would like to accept this help!
Anyone who does donate, are invited to watch him in synagogue and to join the party as a thank you.

I am Jacob's Mum, we have funds put away for Jacob's party but didn't realise how difficult it would be to get his lessons! We love our friends and family so much, Jacob had a difficult start to life, and our friends have been there no matter what!
