I will remember this project and Menukha for the rest of my life.

Zoe celebrated her Bat Mitzvah on
3 June 2023 

I had a very good experience with my Twinning project, from feeling proud of myself for doing a good thing, to getting to a new level of understanding of the horrors that happened in the Holocaust. I did this project as part of my Bat Mitzvah and am now proud to say that I have done a good thing by remembering Menukah.

I will continue to remember Menukah every year when lighting a candle for Yom HaShoah. It means a lot that her name is so close to my Hebrew name.

As I said, I did this as part of my Bat Mitzvah. I mentioned my twin in my Friday night dinner speech and when we light the candles, I light one in her memory, and in my d’var torah at the Saturday morning service. I may even add that these two went exceptionally well! Guests were very impressed that I participated in this project and thought that it was a very powerful initiative.

I will remember this project and Menukah for the rest of my life.
