B’nai Mitzvah Program

Mazel tov on your child’s upcoming mitzvah! We are thrilled you’re interested in learning more about our program, which acknowledges the importance of Holocaust education. 

Your child’s mitzvah is a joyous occasion and a beautiful simcha to celebrate with family and friends.  We would like to partner with you to make the experience even more meaningful.  We invite you to participate in a unique opportunity to honor the memory of those impacted by the Holocaust.

Request time with a 3G (third generation Holocaust survivor) here:

We’ll reach out to your family by email to discuss what would be most valuable for your family:

  1. We can share our grandparent’s survival story and answer questions about growing up with a Holocaust survivor family member.

  2. We can recommend a combination of volunteer opportunities and/or organizations to support related to Holocaust awareness for your child’s mitzvah project.

  3. We can discuss ideas for how to incorporate Holocaust awareness or recognize impacted family members in your child’s service.

  4. We can share resources and suggestions for your child to learn to tell his/her own family member’s survival story (for the 4G’s!)

Below are a few Holocaust related organizations and here are additional opportunities that may be of interest for your family:
