Each girl has her own unique Bat Mitzvah experience. Below is a place where you, the Bat Mitzvah girl, can tell other girls about your experience. You can write about a Mitzvah project you completed, your party experience, or what you have learned from your Bat Mitzvah. You may also get some ideas for your own Bat Mitzvah project if you have not already completed one.

    Through this page you will be able to share what you have learned with other girls and learn from each other.

Hi everyone! I just had my Bat Mitzvah and as a gift I got The Bat Mitzvah Book. It says on this page we should tell about what we did for our Bat Mitzvah so for my Bat Mitzvah project I went with a few of my friends and we brought food, toys, and other things to a Jewish food pantry. I had done it before with my family and it was a really fun thing to do it with my friends while still being able to do something that helped others.

Okay, then...

My Bat Mitzvah is coming up soon and I need to do a Mitzvah project. Sarah, what is a food pantry?

Sarah

Hi Ali! It's so cool that you responded! Sure, so a food pantry is basically a storage house that collects things like food, school supplies... It then lets poor families come to the pantry and pick out what they need. Our pantry, is very secretive and makes sure that no one knows who uses it so that people shouldn't be embarrassed. My mom said that they do this specifically at our pantry because in Judaism it's very important not to embarrass someone.
