Bnei MitzvahIf the world will ever be redeemed, it will be through the virtues of children. Talmud, Nedarim
The Ethiopian Jewish community dreamed for thousands of years to return to the Land of Milk and Honey. Today, 116,000 Ethiopian-Israelis live in Israel, but for 65% of the community’s children, their life is one of poverty.
For Bnei Mitzvah around the world, this life-changing event is also an opportunity to change the lives of others. The Ethiopian National Project improves the lives of thousands of Ethiopian-Israeli teenagers by providing each the opportunity to fulfill his or her potential.
A Bnei Mitzva project with ENP provides the opportunity for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah to make a difference, to enrich a life, and to transform a world.
Bar/Bat Mitzvah with ENP
ENP helps Ethiopian-Israeli teenagers succeed in school, develop self-confidence and discover their potential by providing intensive Scholastic Assistance and a plethora of activities and inspirational staff at ENP Youth Outreach Centers. Each of these projects has myriad mitzvah opportunities that will offer a unique and critical way to make a difference in Israel.
A variety of opportunities exist to sculpt a personalized Bar/Bat Mitzvah Project with ENP. ENP is pleased to work with the Bar/Bat Mitzvah and the family to create a project which will make the most out of the mitzvah. In addition, a variety of avenues for recognition of the special gift can be offered. From a short celebratory film, to a family visit, a lasting penpal friend, to participation in the actual ceremony, ENP is a partner in helping make the mitzvah project one to remember.
ENP Youth Outreach Centers
ENP’s Youth Outreach Centers are open from late afternoon into the late evening, providing an accessible, neighborhood Center that includes a variety of extra-curricular activities, a computer laboratory and positive role models. The Centers bustle with activity, with the youth themselves playing an active and leading role in creating the atmosphere and sculpting the program content of the Center, making it a place in which they feel truly comfortable.
