CLUB 13 - Hope Starts Here: CLUB 13 was created for young people to participate in this important Jewish tradition, and there are many ways to get involved. CLUB 13 makes it easy, interesting and fun to help others. As you know, a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is an important rite of passage from child to adult. In Hebrew, Bar(Bat) Mitzvah actually means "self-responsibility." It's a time when you have a chance to make more decisions about your life - and get a lot of recognition and presents. Yet there's one gift that no one can give you but yourself. It's a gift that never breaks down, never gets boring and never goes out of style. In fact, it only gets more rewarding with age. It's the gift of giving to a cause that's close to your heart.
