The Isaac Jonah Katz Bar Mitzvah Tzedakah Fund

Celebrating Isaac Jonah Katz’s Bar Mitzvah

As parents, we try to teach our children the importance of living according to Torah values. Rachel and I have found that the most effective method of instilling these values is to lead by example. Particularly, in the areas of Tzedaka and Chesed, we have tried our best to involve our children in all our endeavors in the most hands-on manner whenever possible.



What do you give someone who already possesses the maturity to understand the extent of his blessings? Baruch Hashem, our Isaac Jonah exemplifies Ben Zoma’s statement in the 4th Perek of Pirkei Avos that a wealthy person is one who appreciates what he has. In lieu of a traditional gift, we respectfully ask that you help celebrate Isaac’s Bar Mitzvah by contributing to his very own Tzedaka Fund. This intangible gift will enable Isaac to make important philanthropic choices for Jewish causes worldwide in the months and years to come.



All funds that are raised prior to Isaac’s Bar Mitzvah will be match funded by us, so that Isaac will have a significant and solid footing from which to embark on his journey as a responsible and full member of Klal Yisrael.



Whether you are ultimately able to celebrate with us in person or in spirit, we hope that you will consider participating in this meaningful, charitable, and tax-deductible way.



May Hashem continue to bless Isaac Jonah with wisdom and maturity beyond his years so that he will continue to bring his family and friends much Nachas, Amen.



All our love,

Rachel & Alex
