Bat/Bar Mitzvah Celebrations

Many young women and men preparing for their Bat or Bar Mitzvah find it meaningful to initiate a Mitzvah project, contributing to the community and helping others as they become a young adult. Include Vacamas in your celebration and choose a Vacamas Bat or Bar Mitzvah Project. Send us your name and the date of your celebration, and we'll be in touch with you to help you plan your special event.

Here are some creative ways to include Vacamas in your celebration:

  • Support a camper. Bring your family and friends together to support a summer scholarship for a youth in need. Vacamas can help you generate letters, customize a website, and provide outreach brochures.
  • Host a Green Shabbat in your synagogue. In the spirit of Shabbat, organize a green challah baking party for you and your friends. We will provide the recipe! Sell the challah to friends and family and include educational materials about Vacamas programs.
  • Organize Pledge Activities. Rally your friends and family to join you in fun activities such as bowl-a-thons, color runs, and fashion shows. Vacamas can generate pledge forms for you special activity, customized websites, and help you plan you big event.
  • Send Tribute Card. Vacamas offers beautiful tribute cards that can be used to thank family members and special guests who have participated in your celebration. Consider purchasing Vacamas Tribute Cards in lieu of ordinary thank you notes.
  • Give Tzadakah (Charity). Giving Tzadakah to others at a time when you are receiving so many special gifts can be very meaningful. Click here to donate now.
  • Create and sell. Use your creative and artistic abilities to create and sell t-shirts, jewelry, hats, and more. We can help you post items online and share via social media. The proceeds you earn from your sales can be donated to Vacamas in honor of your Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
  • Volunteer your time. Set aside hours at our camp in West Milford, NJ or office in New York City to help staff in coordinating our events and programs
