About MITZVAH MATTERS INC

Mitzvah Matters Inc. is a Los Angeles–based, donor-facing nonprofit community synagogue founded and led by Rabbi Eran Bar‑Adon that operates as a "synagogue without walls." It offers Bar and Bat Mitzvah preparation, Hebrew education, life‑cycle ceremonies, Shabbat and High Holy Day services, weddings, baby namings, and holiday programming delivered in homes, outdoor venues, and community locations.

The organization positions itself as non‑dues, contribution‑based, and intentionally inclusive—serving Jews by birth, choice, and interfaith families. Public nonprofit records and major nonprofit directories list the organization under EIN 46‑5041449 and show it files annual Form 990 returns; the EIN and Los Angeles address were cross‑checked against nonprofit registries and the organization's public web presence to confirm identity.

In recent years Mitzvah Matters has maintained an active events calendar and continued Bar/Bat Mitzvah instruction through its BarMitzvahSchool initiative, delivering services and education across multiple venues in the Los Angeles area while operating with a small staff/leadership team and relying on community contributions and foundation support.
