The Bar and Bat Mitzvah twinning experience is a unique opportunity designed to carry on the tradition of uniting Jews around the world. American B'nai and B'not Mitzvah are paired with their peers in teh former Soviet Union (FSU). Information about background, interests and family is exchanged in letters sent to your "twin."
Through Bar or Bat Mitzvah twinning, you strengthen a vital connection that often begins a lasting relationship. Many youngsters who have been "twinned" have kept in touch with their family from the FSU even after that family has emigrated. Such contacts can often help the family adjust to a new life in the West.
