Twelve & Thirteen

To give is to receive

Our b’nei mitzvah programs broaden awareness of social issues and provide hands-on volunteering opportunities for our families to give back. It’s flexible, fun and rewarding.

Delivered through two streams, our Twelve batmitzvah and Thirteen barmitzvah cohorts participate in separate volunteering sessions with our charity partners. For each stream, we deliver.
