ElAD's Mitzvah Project
Cans for a Cure
A mitzvah project is typically a social action or community service project that puts our Jewish values and identity into practice. Becoming Bar or Bat Mitzvah symbolizes becoming an adult within the Jewish community and taking on responsibilities to that community. Elad's mitzvah project is meaningful and personal to him and our family, but it also serves a vital community: the ALS community.
For his mitzvah project, Elad will collect cans, and with the proceeds from recycling the cans, he will donate it to the Sean M Healey Center for ALS at MGH. We will have collection boxes at Temple Emunah for you to drop off cans. We will also have them at SFC soccer games and at his school. We hope you can help Elad raise funds for ALS one can at a time.
For those that live too far to donate cans, we have set up a donation site: https://giving.massgeneral.org/donate/elad
