When a family chooses a Bar or Bat Mitzvah invitation often their goal is to make a statement. Encore Studios, an invitation brand and Jewish National Fund (JNF), a fund raising organization to benefit Israel has entered into a philanthropic partnership. They recently unveiled a line of invitations whose style aligns with today's design trends but also allows the family to make a tax deductible donation in honor of each guest attending which is expressed in a subtle aesthetic way on the invitation.
When a family orders one hundred or more invitations they receive a personalized wood framed Garden Certificate acknowledging the contribution. A JNF representative is available to make a presentation honoring the family for the donation at the service and the honoree’s name will be inscribed in the Book of Gardens, in Jerusalem, Israel.
Over the years JNF has established various programs to help bridge the gap between American Jews and Israel. This newest edition gives Bar or Bat Mitzvah families the opportunity of planting a tree in Israel in honor of every guest they invite to share in their milestone event, and aids to the depleting water supply in the dry lands of Israel. JNF has planted over 240 million trees in Israel's hand-planted forests, which brings relief to many congested towns and cities. In addition, this addition to a Bar or Bat Mitzvah invitation will directly effect JNF's aim of building another 40 reservoirs over the next 5 years in Israel to aid in river rehabilitation.
The partnership between Encore Studios and JNFs allows for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah milestone to be marked with elegant personalized invitations, as Encore Studios, an award winning company, has established themselves at forefront of the invitation industry.
