What our students are up to!

Please read what soon-to-be bat mitzvah Deena, is doing for her mitzvah project!

"As part of my mitzvah project, I have decided to raise money to benefit breast cancer research, in celebration of my aunt Joanie ten-year anniversary as a breast cancer survivor. The Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure is an amazing event where men and women who have struggled with breast cancer, or support breast cancer research, walk 60 miles in three days to help fund important research of the disease. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and will make a difference in the lives of many. Check out www.the3day.org for more information."

Thank you Deena, for sharing your work!

What's Hot and What's Not?

In our workshops we talk a lot about keeping the 'mitzvah' in bar mitzvah and trying to remember what it is really all about. I know that I have mentioned the Mitzvah Chic (mitzvahchic.com) website before, but I found a great chart on that same site that kind of expresses the trend we are seeing and talking about. It is entitled "What's Hot and What's Not" in bar/bat mitzvah celebrations today. You can go directly to it by clicking What's Hot?
