Rachel and Erik's B'nei Mitzvah Fundraiser

Hey community!

It's Rachel Joravsky and Erik Abriss and we are THRILLED to announce we're having our B'nei Mitzvah in a few weeks on August 26th @ 10 am. Instead of gifts, we are hosting a fundraiser for the shul that has supported our BM journey, Der Nister.

Der Nister is a new cultural center and synagogue in Downtown Los Angeles. Its mission is to showcase the joy and depth of Jewish culture and spirituality, to awaken the social and class consciousness of the Jewish community in its position near one of the most vulnerable districts of the city, and to build a community to share in deep learning, music and a strong ethos of egalitarianism.

Der Nister graciously opened their doors to us 9 months ago and provided us with everything we could need to make this B'nei Mitzvah happen. From access to a Torah scroll to a brilliant mentor in Rabbi Rosenfeld -- Der Nister makes Jewish learning accessible to those who seek it.

We are hosting this fundraiser to give back to a place that has given us so much. All funds and resources will go towards Der Nister's continued Jewish Arts Programming from Shabbat services to plays, concerts and more. Thank you for supporting!
