Plan a creative bat mitzvah for your daughter while contributing to help at-risk girls in Israel
We will help you plan a creative tzedakah activity for your daughter’s Bat Mitzvah that will relate to giving needs at Ulpanat Dolev, a school for at risk teen girls in Dolev Israel where every girl is befriended by a family in the town.
