Hi, my name is Jonah. I'm twelve years old and turning thirteen this year, meaning I will be having a Bar Mitzvah. For my mitzvah project, I wanted to do something that tells people who I am, and after lots of thinking, I decided to create a dance video.

I dance at Artistry Dance Project. For years, we have been gathering and donating money to Blythedale Children's Hospital. I hope this video encourages you to donate. Blythedale Children's Hospital is an incredible hospital that helps many, and by donating, you'd be helping so many children and families. I hope this video encourages you to donate and resonates with you in any way. Thank you and enjoy!

With my friends, Brie and Makayla, I created choreography and allowed them to improvise to create a dance. TJ Cairo, my other good friend, also assisted by videotaping and editing this whole video. Thank you to everyone who helped.

Blythedale Children's Hospital provides the very best in medical, therapeutic and support services to 2,500 children and their families in the tri-state region and beyond every year. Your donation will help change the lives of children with complex medical illnesses and disabling conditions by supporting Blythedale's superb multi-disciplinary care, teaching, research and advocacy programs.

All proceeds from Jonah's mitzvah project will benefit Blythedale's Day Hospital Program. The Day Hospital is Blythedale's specialty outpatient program for children who are able to live at home, but still require a level of medical and/or rehabilitative care that cannot be met by their school or a community outpatient program. Children admitted to the Program receive daily medical supervision and nursing care, comprehensive rehabilitation services (physical, occupational, speech and/or feeding therapy), and education through the Mt. Pleasant Blythedale Union Free School District (UFSD).
