our staff can enroll a bar/bat mitzvah in our "Mitzvah Circle," by which the young celebrant suggests to his/her guests that they give a gift to HFBA. The generous child who shares his/her simcha in this way receives a framed certificate. A simcha can also be commemorated with an HFBA card which can include a personal message.
