Hi! I'm Ben Zauzmer, and I'm twelve years old. I attend Congregation Beth Or in South-Eastern Pennsylvania. I'd like to tell you about my exciting Bar Mitzvah project!
For my Bar Mitzvah project, I compiled a professional charity CD with many popular Jewish singers on it called "Mitzvah Music." Each of these outstanding performers graciously donated and gave me full permission to use a song: Debbie Friedman, Craig Taubman, Dan Nichols, Rick Recht, Cantor Bruce Benson, Rabbi Joe Black, Steve Dropkin, Kol B'seder, Julie Silver, Mah Tovu, Danny Maseng, Judy Caplan Ginsburgh, Mark Bloom, Matt Stamn, the Shabbatones, AND MORE!!! Now I'm selling this CD across the country. So far, over 300 CD's have been sold in over 25 states and in 3 countries!
The proceeds from the CD will go to Camp Dream Street, held on the grounds of the URJ's Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Mississippi, and sponsored by NFTY. Kids with physical disabilities such as spina bifida and cerebral palsey come here, free of charge, for a magical week of summer fun where they can just be kids, away from hospitals and constant reminders of pain.

Although the NFTY counselors and medical staff all volunteer their time and skills, the medical equipment and other supplies required to run this camp are very costly. I'm fortunate enough to attend a Jewish overnight camp. My goal is for this donation to help disabled children have fun too like I do each summer.
A complete list of songs and other information about the CD can be found at www.mitzvahmusic.com, and the CD can be purchased at this site.
It would be amazing if you could pass this along to anyone who you think might be interested in this great music and great cause!
Thank you very much,
Ben
