The Bat Mitzvah
Goes Gala
This time next year, aside from the
end of the school year and the prospect of summer camp trips, the girls at the
Home will have one more thing to look forward to…
Lev LaLev is bringing back the annual
Bat Mitzvah celebration! After a few year hiatus in which the Bat Mitzvah
program focused on individual sponsoring, the Home is now going back to an
annual large gala Bat Mitzvah celebration format.

Similar to the past format, the
girls at the Rubin-Zeffren Children’s Home in Netanya who will become Bat Mitzvah
in the following year will celebrate their milestone together in a single gala
ceremony. The event will take place each summer and enable the girls to
invite many more of their own guests, including school friends, friends from
before they came to the Home and extended family – an opportunity which they
enjoy immensely. Even the younger girls at the Home look forward to the event,
where they use their creativity and talents to develop dances and perform plays
for the Bat Mitzvah girls and their guests.

And, of course, the entire Lev LaLev
and Beyond Bat Mitzvah family is invited to join in on the fun, and help prepare
for the day too! Supporters can help sponsor one Bat Mitzvah girl in the group or
the whole simcha and will be included in the special booklet wishing all the
girls a Mazal Tov on their special day. The booklet will have profiles of each
Bat Mitzvah girl with a list of their sponsors. It is an exciting opportunity for
everyone involved in this amazing milestone event!
The next gala celebration is being
planned for June or July 2013. How wonderful it would be if you could join us! I
look forward to your questions, thoughts and ideas to make it the best ever…Mazal
Tov!
