Mitzvah project

Mitzvah! students are required to complete a mitzvah project before their mitzvah ceremony. The project can serve the Jewish community, the greater Vermont community, or the world at large.  Mitzvah projects can include direct service, education and awareness building, philanthropy, and/or advocacy. We recommend completing the mitzvah project two months before the ceremony. 

Some examples include:

• volunteering at JCOGS

• volunteering at a community service organization

• visiting the sick, the disabled, or the elderly

• working on behalf of world Jewry

• raising awareness of a local or international cause

• raising money for a not-for-profit organization

• planning and performing an environmental project
