Bar and Bat Mitzvah Twinning
A Celebration of Connection
But for many children in Israel who have grown up in at-risk families or lost their parents, this experience looks very different. Instead of joy, there is often sadness. Without family celebrations, new clothes, Tefillin for a boy or a Siddur for a girl, their Bar or Bat Mitzvah can feel incomplete and lonely.
At Migdal Ohr, we believe every child deserves to stand tall and proud at this special moment in their life. When you choose to twin, your child is paired with a Migdal Ohr child, creating a deeply personal bond. This is not just a donation but a shared experience of unity, responsibility, and giving. Your child will learn first-hand the mitzvah of generosity and compassion. The Migdal Ohr child will feel the joy of being celebrated and supported. Together, they will carry this moment for the rest of their lives.
What is B’nei Mitzvah Twinning?
Migdal Ohr’s B’nei Mitzvah Twinning Programme gives your child the priceless opportunity to share their milestone with an orphan or at-risk child in Israel. By twinning, your family ensures that another child can mark this milestone with the same joy, dignity, and pride as their Jewish peers.
Every year, around 35 boys and 80 girls at Migdal Ohr reach Bar or Bat Mitzvah age. Through twinning, you can help them celebrate, provide the traditional items they need, and give them the gift of feeling seen, valued, and uplifted.
Why Twinning Matters
For children at Migdal Ohr, a twinned Bar or Bat Mitzvah is more than a party or a gift – it is a turning point. It empowers them with pride, confidence, and the sense that they belong.
For your child, it is the chance to step into Jewish adulthood with the awareness that their simcha has changed someone else’s life. It deepens their appreciation of what they have, instils the value of giving, and makes their celebration truly unforgettable.
Give your child a deeper, more meaningful Bar or Bat Mitzvah by sharing their simcha with an orphan or at-risk child in Israel who would otherwise celebrate alone. Through Migdal Ohr’s Twinning Programme, your support provides the joy, dignity, and traditional essentials every child deserves—turning their milestone into a moment of pride and belonging. This is more than a gift; it’s a life-changing connection that shapes two futures.
