Mitzvah project · 21 October 2024

The Together Plan is a UK charity dedicated to the rehabilitation, repair and revival of Jewish communities coming out of collective trauma in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, enabling, rather than providing, through a self-help approach. In spite of the traumatic past, there are many who yearn to reconnect with their lost identity. It is the mission of The Together Plan charity, to help those Jews still living in the region learn how to rebuild their communities, and also to reconnect those in the diaspora to their ancestry and the homes they left behind. The Together Plan is playing a vital and much needed role in the repair and renewal process for a better connected and meaningful Jewish future for Jews everywhere. We send humanitarian aid and resources that reach Jewish and non-Jewish communities throughout Belarus and our community work helps to bring Jewish and non-Jewish people together for a better civil society.

Story

I'm aiming to raise £750 for my mitzvah project. I have chosen to support a Jewish community in Belarus, as my synagogue is twinned with a town in Polotsk. My surname originates from Belinski as my great-great-grandfather came from Belarus so this really caught my attention.

The money I raise will help the Jewish Youth Heritage Clubs which work there to inspire children to learn about their Jewish history and culture.

I am planning to walk up Mam Tor in the Peak District. I was motivated to do this after climbing Mount Etna with my family this summer.
