Tennis Can Change The World!
Help Me Help The Underserved Kids of Israel Grow By Playing Tennis.
My name is Lev Rudoren and I become a Bar Mitzvah on Nov. 21, 2020. This summer I have come to love tennis because it is fun as well as competitive. My coaches are great, and I think it would be awesome for other kids to learn what I’ve learned. That’s why I chose to raise money for the Israel Tennis and Education Center (ITEC) as my Mitzvah Project.
ITEC was founded in 1976 and now has 14 centers across Israel where more than 20,000 children play this great game. It is one of the largest social- service organizations for low-income children in Israel, with programs for kids with disabilities and programs that bring together Jews and Arabs. It is hard to imagine that approximately 1 million of Israel’s 2.7 million children live in poverty. ITEC gives children a second home after school, teaching tennis along with social development skills like perseverance and focus. Children from diverse backgrounds and religions come together at the ITEC and are encouraged to bond and create friendships.
I believe this is a very worthy cause, and my goal is to raise $3,600.
