Michael Elinoff is showing a lot more maturity than a coming of age party would demand.
Because “mitzvah” means ‘good deed’ in Hebrew, the 13-year-old dedicated his Jewish celebration of bar mitzvah to collecting gifts for others, instead of himself.

He even gave Meira a portion of the money he was gifted on the occasion.
Inspired by the generosity, Meira wanted to give back too, and donated some of hers to the young burn victims recovering at the hospital.
