Many Jewish boys look forward to their bar mitzvahs for years before the event. They will finally be considered an adult and have the priviledge of donning tefillin. But what about the Jewish boys who cannot afford tefillin,let alone a celebration?
While all of his friends are honored with lavish receptions, new suits, new shoes, and shiny boxes of tefillin, the boy from a poverty-stricken home will be deeply disappointed as he watches from the sidelines knowing that he will enjoy none of that. His special day will come and go with no celebration at all.
Yad Eliezer wants to enable every Jewish boy to celebrate his bar mitzvah with pride.

Dear Friends and Family,לאי״ט
During my recent family trip to Israel, we visited and packed boxes at Yad Eliezer, an organization that provides food and other support to needy people in Israel, from families to soldiers. During the video presentation that we viewed just prior to our work, I saw and heard how grateful these people were for the chesed with which they were provided. My siblings, parents, and I were so inspired to help that over two hours we packed 50 large boxes of food to be delivered all over Israel.
In an expression of unity with our people please consider contributing a donation to this worthy cause. I look forward to seeing and celebrating with you soon.
We break the cycle of poverty by enabling individuals and families to become self-sufficient, giving them the skills they need to become productive in a trade or profession.
Help a bar mitzvah boy from a needy family celebrate his special milestone, with sponsorship of tefillin or a bar mitzvah package. Twinning with your loved one's bar mitzvah is a beautiful and meaningful way to commemorate your simcha.
