Bar/Bat Mitzvah Twinning Program
The NACOEJ Bar/Bat Mitzvah Twinning Program provides a terrific opportunity for Jewish youth to get to know, and help, their Ethiopian-Israeli peers.
As a Twin you will receive:
- A certificate sent to your rabbi before the event
- A handmade embroidery, made in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia by Ethiopian Jews.
- The name, photo and bio of your Twin
- If you visit Israel, arrangements can be made so you can visit your twin
Your twin will receive:
- A special Bar or Bat Mitzvah gift
- A gift to his/her school in Israel to help buy essential supplies such as books (textbooks and reading), computers, and other educational materials. Classes may enjoy a class trip, and have a group Bar/ Bat Mitzvah party!
- Letters you send your twin
