Jessica F., Jan 26, 2013 Temple Beth Elohim, Wellesley, MA
Jessica was the epitome of confidence and poise as she led most of the service and chanted from the torah. Her speech about being a leader, which she compared to Nachshon crossing the Red Sea, was very moving. She talked about moving from NJ to Boston a few years back, and how she was the face of courage to her younger siblings. Rebecca spoke about the Rashi school's 5 core values and how Jessica embodied them, her lovely grandmother presented her a tallit that they made together, and friend Marcie sang a prayer as the Rabbi blessed her. The party was at the Needham Sheraton, and fun was had by all.

Bayla H. Chabad of Lexington, Jan 20, 2013
Bayla gave a beautiful d'var torah at Chabad, surrounded by family and friends. Her theme was Under the Sea, to commemorate the parting of the Red Sea. She gave a fitting tribute to her beloved Bubbie Mindy, who passed away earlier this year.

Chabad of Lexington, Jan 12, 2013
The Z. twins don't go to Chabad, but their dad occasionally comes and wanted to do something special. So they were called to the Torah this shabbat, after having become Bar Mitzvah at Temple Emunah earlier this year. Then they did a different kind of d'var torah. They had a dialogue, one boy acting as Moses, the other as Abraham, about leadership, comparing the styles and situations in which each were leaders. It was quite entertaining, thoughtful and interesting.

Matti H., Temple Beth Elohim, Jan 5, 2013
The first Bat Mitzvah of the year, after vacation, and the natives were restless! But that didn't stop Matti from speaking eloquently about the importance of teachers, being patient, and calm. And her teacher was Phyllis, our lovely next door neighbor. The party was at the Verve all afternoon.

Molly W. Temple Beth Avodah, December 15, 2012
Molly's is the last of 2012, and her parshah was of Pharoah's dream. It is fitting since the kids perform songs from Joseph in the 4th grade. Her party was fun at the Henderson House.
