Dear Friends,

We are looking forward to celebrating our Bat Mitzvah at Emunah’s Bet Elazraki Children’s Home in Netanya, Israel on Thursday August 30, 2018. We decided to celebrate our Bat Mitzvah with underprivileged children at the Home so they can enjoy an exciting and entertaining party. In addition, we will be celebrating the Bat Mitzvah of 5 girls that live at the Bet Elazraki Children’s Home.

As our Bat Mitzvah is taking place just before Rosh Hashana, we are raising funds to buy new clothing for the children. We would very much appreciate it if you can contribute towards our fundraising efforts.

Most children tend to receive new clothing from their parents in honor of Rosh Hashana. We therefore believe it’s important for the children at the Home to receive new clothing as well and for them to know that people around the world care about them.

Bet Elazraki Children's Home is a home in Netanya, Israel to 200 at-risk children ages 6-18. These children were removed from life threatening situations such as alcohol and/or drug abuse, mental illnesses, severe neglect, or physical and psychological abuse. At Bet Elazraki children are healed and begin to thrive when the devoted staff helps them shed their pain, cope with their trauma, and bridge gaps to allow them to fulfill their potential. For children brought to their doorstep, Bet Elazraki is a home for life. They are not a short-term crisis facility-they are their home and their family.

Thank you!
