Give a Mitzvah, Do a Mitzvah: A Little Help with Your Good Deed

Give a Mitzvah, Do a Mitzvah is an initiative of the Jewish Federation that offers bar and bat mitzvah students a resource for mitzvah (good deed) projects and tzedakah (righteous behavior) opportunities for their b’nai mitzvah year and beyond. Students make a donation to the Federation’s Annual Campaign for Jewish Needs and develop a hands-on social-action project.

The Federation guides the student through the process of creating the project. The possibilities are as endless as the student’s creativity.

Students can come into the Federation office and meet with the mitzvah coordinator or talk on the phone. The process begins with a discussion of hobbies, interests, and other passions. Then the coordinator and student brainstorm ways to make a difference. Students volunteer or raise awareness or collect items for others and learn about helping their community in the process. jewishlehighvalley.org/mitzvah
