Make Your Child’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah Truly Impactful
A Bar or Bat Mitzvah marks a significant transition. For many families, it’s also a moment to give back and honor Jewish tradition through meaningful action. By supporting ‘The Equalizer’, you can connect this rite of passage with a real-world impact: providing an empowering framework to youth from underprivileged communities in Israel, and using sport as a tool for education, equality and social cohesion.

From Majdal Shams in the north to Eilat in the south, we operate in over 126 municipalities, working across Israel’s diverse communities. Each program brings lasting impact to youth who need it most.

5. See your Impact firsthand
When you’re visiting Israel, we’d love to host your family for a joint session with the team you’ve supported. We will meet in the local schools to learn about the community, meet and play with the participants and connect with the local community.
