B’nai Mitzvah

 

“Shabbat Shalom to our family and friends.

Thank you for joining us in person or through live stream, to celebrate Yael’s Bat Mitzvah. A special Toda Raba to Rabbi Neely for preparing Yael and sharing with her valuable and important life lessons on Judaism that will continue to guide her beyond today. 

Yael is a 7th grader pre-IB student at Milwee Middle School. She loves learning and exploring the world. It’s no surprise that her favorite subjects are Civics and Band, as she enjoys volunteering in the community and also likes music,  singing, and dancing. Yael loves reading, baking, and spending time with her family.  She is kind, compassionate, and optimistic. We love you very much, Yaelita, and we congratulate you on becoming a Bat  Mitzvah. 


Shabbat Shalom,

Emely, Natan, and Ilana Brener”

“On behalf of our family, we would like to thank each and every one of you for joining us today to celebrate the wonderful occasion of Kyle’s Bar Mitzvah. We appreciate everyone who was able to be here in person and those watching through live stream as Kyle takes the bima. We especially would like to thank Rabbi Joshua Neely for his support in preparing Kyle for this momentous day.

Kyle is an 8th grader at Innovation Middle School in Lake Nona. Kyle loves playing and watching all sports but his favorite is football. When Kyle plays football, he enjoys playing on defense. He always loves cheering on the UCF Knights whether it’s at home or from our season ticket seats in the stands. On Sunday’s you will find Kyle, in front of the TV watching the Dolphins and working on his Fantasy Football League. Kyle loves to make his family laugh with his silly jokes. He is an amazing big brother to his siblings. He is loving, understanding, and compassionate. We are so blessed to have him as our son. We love you so much Kyle.

Shabbot Shalom

Erica and Mark Davis”

To Rabbi and all the volunteers it was a beautiful morning and I hope that Abigail was able to cherish every moment knowing that her whole congregational family was watching.
