Jewish National Fund played a central role in establishing the State of Israel, so it is very appropriate to choose a JNF project for your Bar/Bat Mitzvah. JNF is also the leading environmental agency in Israel, so if you’re interested in the environment, both here and in Israel, a JNF project is for you. JNF helps the people of Israel in many ways. You will receive a special JNF certificate at your Bar/Bat Mitzvah service for taking part in tikkun olam/service projects through JNF.

B’nai Mitzvah Remembrance Wall

This stone wall, located in Jerusalem’s American Independence Park and designed to look like a Torah scroll, allows children celebrating their Bar/Bat Mitzvah to link their names to a child who perished in the Holocaust and continue the circle of life. For an $1,800 donation a glass tile will be embedded into the wall that bears the name of the B’nai Mitzvah child, his/her hometown and date of the simcha, as well as the name and home country of a child who perished at the hands of the Nazis. Please allow 6 weeks for the tile to be embedded and for a plaque with a personalized certificate to be sent to the B’nai Mitzvah child. Funds raised from the wall will go towards developing, maintaining, and advancing JNF’s five Israel campsites for Jewish youth.
