Synopsis & Historical Value
Published by Jewish Lights Publishing, The Mitzvah Project Book is the definitive, award-winning guide designed to help pre-teens connect their Bar or Bat Mitzvah milestones with real-world social action. Written by the acclaimed authorial team of Liz Suneby and Diane Heiman, the book takes the foundational Jewish concept of a mitzvah (commandment/good deed) and transforms it into an empowering, lifelong journey of community service and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).
The book serves as a highly practical ideas generator and organizational handbook. It features over 100 concrete, age-appropriate project suggestions cutting across animal welfare, environmental protection, elder care, poverty relief, and global health. Moving past simple concepts, Suneby and Heiman provide a step-by-step roadmap that guides readers through choosing a cause, budgeting, fundraising, advertising, and overcoming field challenges. This beautifully preserved copy serves as an important resource for serious collectors of modern Judaica reference works, religious educators, and families seeking an unmarred planning asset for upcoming family milestones.
