Helping Ukraine’s Jewish Children
Joelle’s Bat Mitzvah Project: Giving the Gift of Camp
Why Joelle Chose YEKA
Joelle believes every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and loved. After learning about children in Ukraine who are facing unimaginable challenges, she knew she wanted to make a difference.
Her Bat Mitzvah project is about more than a celebration, it’s about giving other children the same sense of belonging and happiness she is so grateful for.
A Safe Place for Children Who Need It Most
YEKA camps provide a secure, caring environment for children affected by war and hardship. Here, they find stability, friendship, and trusted mentors who help them heal and grow.
Your support ensures children have one place where they can just be kids.
More Than a Summer Getaway
Camp is a chance to laugh, play, create, and build lifelong memories. From singing around the campfire to art projects and sports, every day is filled with joy.
For many children, camp is the highlight of the year, a break from worry and a chance to dream again.
Building Confidence and Jewish Pride
Through Jewish traditions, values, and community, campers develop confidence, pride, and a strong connection to their heritage. These experiences stay with them for a lifetime.
YEKA helps shape strong, proud Jewish leaders for the future.
A Hands-On Way to Give
Joelle is creating and selling handmade natural soaps, with all proceeds supporting YEKA camps. Every bar sold helps provide a child with a safe, uplifting, and unforgettable camp experience.
When you give to Joelle’s Bat Mitzvah project, you’re investing in hope, joy, and a brighter tomorrow. Thank you for helping Joelle turn her Bat Mitzvah into something truly meaningful.
