This year’s dinner will be catered by Levy’s and feature Magen Boys as entertainment.
IVOW Association was founded in 1984 to support Bar and Bat Mitzvah age children of families in Israel who have been affected by war, military service or terrorism.
Please let Raquel know (director@bethtorah.ca) if you have any Bnei Mitzvah Swag as prizes to donate.
Please fill out the form below to confirm your attendance. Dinner is free but we are encouraging donations to help subsidize the costs. There are limited tickets.
