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.
L'Kavod my Bar Mitzva I am undertaking bli neder to raise $1000-1800 to be used for a pair of tefillin and a full Bar Mimtzva package for an Ani(im) who is being Bar Mitzvad in Eretz Yisroel.
