MY MITZVAH PROJECT
Friends of Meir Panim - Holocaust Day Center
I am raising funds to support the uplifting of 150,000 Holocaust survivors still alive in Israel today. Sadly, 1 in 3 are living difficult, lonely lives. Israel’s Holocaust Survivors need our support, now more than ever to enjoy a meaningful and happy life, despite the horrors of their past and recent present.
Thank you, Ben Finnegan

Yad Vashem Twinning Program
A Bar Mitzvah marks the beginning of a boy's lifelong adult connection to the Jewish people.
The Twinning Program at the Yad Vashem Memorial Museum in Israel is an increasingly popular way to strengthen a child's identification with Jewish heritage by forging bonds with individual children who were murdered in the Holocaust.
Ben chose to participate in the program offering the opportunity to remember and learn about the life of Benjamin Schlezinger who tragically did not make it to Bar Mitzvah age.
