I was reading something on the Families with Children from China website the other day and I ran across a posting asking the families for help with a Bat Mitzvah project. I was not only thrilled to come across another Jewish child who was adopted from China but excited that LO would be able to help this girl with her project.
The girl's name is Lily and she is looking to collect stories from other Jewish Chinese girls for her project. I e-mailed Lily's mother and she asked me to help get the word out about Lily's project. I know that there are several of you who have mentioned to me that there are adopted Chinese girls at your shuls and it would really be a mitzvah if you could spread the word to those families.
LO is already working on her essay for Lily's project and I promise to share it here as soon as she finishes it.
Here is the link for more information...Lily's Bat Mitzvah Project.

Do I count as "Jewish Chinese?" I'm Jewish and I grew up in China!
Oh Annie - you'll always be Jewish Chinese in my book. :)
There is one in my shul as well. I'll try to get a copy of this to her father if they are in for the upcoming Yom Tov.
