I would like to thank Sharone for teaching me how to read and speak Hebrew, Cantor Miriam for teaching me my Torah portion, Haftarah, and more, all the people who donated linens and other supplies to help my cause, all the people of Malkhut who have helped me and my peers along this journey, my parents who have helped me throughout the whole process, even from before I started this Bat Mitzvah journey, and lastly Rabbi G who started and helped me and everyone else on this path.

Mitzvah Project
For my Mitzvah Project, I collected linens and made pet beds to donate to animal shelters around New York City. More specifically, I collected donations of used sheets, towels, and linens from people in Malkhut and Jackson Heights, which I then donated to the ACC Centers in Manhattan and Queens. I also used these donations to make pet beds for the animals of these shelters. These beds were made from pillowcases and stuffed with batting, sewn, and quilted on a sewing machine. By donating linens and creating beds for these shelters I was able to directly help improve the lives of these animals and also help the ACC shelters get things they need to help these animals.
