Mitzvah Projects
Mitzvah Project Information
What is a Mitzvah Project?
A mitzvah is a good deed done from religious duty. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony marks the passage of the child into Jewish adulthood. By Jewish standards, this means they are now responsible for their behavior, and for carrying out mitzvot. Many children take on a service project, which can include choosing a charity in support of their Mitzvah Project.
Ideas on how to get started.
- Think of something near and dear to your heart and create your project around that passion.
- Bake Sale/Lemonade Sale
- Host a workshop
- Game Night
- Sports Competition/Event– Have friends sign up to play – charge a fee to participate.
