If you’re looking for a mitzvah project idea, the JFTL Mitzvah Project is a perfect opportunity for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah teen to do a good deed by raising money and building awareness for Holocaust education.
Participants sign up for their own Journey For The Living fitness challenge and commit to walk, run, or ride at least 15 miles in one month – representing the journey that Mark Schonwetter, a Holocaust survivor, walked as a young boy in one night, along with his sister and mother, to escape the Nazis. Walk alone or start a team, either in-person, virtually, or both!
The money raised goes directly to expand and support Holocaust Education Grants to teach anti-hate initiatives, respect, and kindness to students nationwide.
It’s simple. It’s meaningful. It’s yours to personalize.
Every May, our community of supporters commits to participating in Journey For The Living by walking, running, or riding at least 15 miles to raise money and awareness for Holocaust education.
