Service Project Case Story:
Emma Peretz
Emma celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at Temple Beth Am in May, 2009. Last fall Emma volunteered in our Museum - greeting visitors, meeting survivors, and helping group tours.
Emma became so engaged with the significance of educating others about the Holocaust, she completed a video interview of a survivor.
At Emma's request, we uploaded the interviews to a web page about her service project where she asked her invited guests to make donations to the museum in lieu of gifts.
