Bar Mitzvah Program

Celebrating your Bar-Mitzvah? Celebrate it with Boys Town Jerusalem!

By making Boys Town Jerusalem part of your bar mitzvah, you can help ensure that another boy experiences the joy, pride, and memories of this special day.

It felt like I got to celebrate two Bar Mitzvahs — mine and his — which made the whole day even more special.

And you can do the same.

Why Celebrate with Boys Town Jerusalem?

Every boy at Boys Town Jerusalem has his own story.

Many come from families facing financial hardship. Others have experienced trauma, abuse, or difficult home lives. For some, celebrating a bar mitzvah simply isn’t possible without help.

Your fundraiser can change that.

When you celebrate with Boys Town Jerusalem, you’ll be twinned with a BTJ boy, helping give him a meaningful bar mitzvah celebration surrounded by friends, teachers, and people who care about him.

I never dreamed we would have a bar mitzvah like this. We weren’t going to have a celebration, but then we had this party and it was more than I could have imagined. I am so grateful to Boys Town Jerusalem for making this happen.”
