Among the myriad decisions you and your child will make when planning a bar / bat mitzvah, there is only one that has the potential to change your child’s life forever: the mitzvah project. A well chosen mitzvah project – one that takes your child’s passions into account – can ignite a life long love of philanthropy. The glitz, the glam, the fun, the dancing – all those things evaporate into thin air, ephemeral pleasures. But, the satisfaction that a child gains from actually making a difference in another person’s life can fuel an addiction to doing good.
This is from my other blog, Mitzvah Mom. It is a primer on planning a mitzvah project, but really it is appropriate for anyone who wants to ignite a love of philanthropy in his/her child.
