PLEASE HELP Mazel Toy! Bar/Bat Mitzvah Notices In an attempt to keep the notices that mark youth on their path to maturity meaningful yet brief, we have decided to change the items to include. We have eliminated the reference to the school "honor" ranking because it differs from school to school. Since mitzvah projects have increased, we ask that only one be selected to be representative of tzedakah. Thank you for your adherence to these changes.
