Remember Us: The Holocaust Bnai Mitzvah Project

Remember Us: The Holocaust Bnai Mitzvah Project offers an invitation to children preparing for bar/bat mitzvah to connect with the memory of children lost in the Holocaust before they could be called to the Torah.

This is a very simple idea. The Project provides the student and the bar/bat mitzvah teacher with the name of a lost child, information about him/her, and suggestions for simple acts of remembrance:

• doing mitzvot b’shem (in the name of the child)
• mentioning the child in a dvar Torah or speech from the bimah
• taking on the mitzvah of saying Kaddish
• lighting a yahrzeit candle yearly
