The Shmuely Family
in honor of the Bar Mitzvah of their son Jordan

SHABBAT MORNING BAR MITZVAH

Jordan Shmuely: A Young Entrepreneur with a Passion for Business and Community Service

Jordan Shmuely is a 13-year-old entrepreneur from Miami who has already begun making waves in both business and community service. Jordan's entrepreneurial journey began with selling candy, then moved to washing cars in the neighborhood, and quickly turned into his own profitable company that acquires and sells limited edition and collectible sneakers  and other profitable resale items. His ventures have since grown into drone photography, where he has completed projects for clients like Stacie Chavin Real Estate and Ocean Impact Windows.

Beyond business, Jordan’s passion for the ocean and outdoors led him to obtain his boating license at just 12 years old, which allows him 

to enjoy his free time on the water. But what truly sets Jordan apart is his commitment to giving back. Jordan is passionate about community service. He volunteers regularly at the JCS Kosher Food Bank and is a leader in his school chesed program. When Jordan is not in class, you can find him with his school’s chesed teacher planning the next charitable event. Recently, Jordan co-sponsored a successful GoFundMe campaign that raised thousands of dollars for the JCS Kosher Food Bank.

Jordan’s sharp intuition, early success at business, and dedication to his community show him to be relentless and forward-thinking. With his passion and motivation, there’s no doubt that Jordan has an incredibly bright future ahead.

Thank you to our friends and family who came to celebrate with us. 

Love, 

Rami & Valorie

MENORAH WELCOMES THIS SHABBAT MORNING
Dina and Mario Blumenkrantz 

Dina and Mario are dedicated Zionists who moved to Sderot with a deep commitment to  strengthening Israel's southern region. Dina, born in Israel to a father from Yemen and a mother from Tripoli, Libya, who survived the Giado concentration camp during the Holocaust. Mario was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1961, and his family immigrated to Israel in 1966. His father escaped Poland before the Holocaust.

On October 7, 2023, their hometown of Sderot was brutally attacked by Hamas gunmen, resulting in the tragic loss of many lives, including friends of Dina and Mario. Their own lives were spared thanks to a timely warning from their son, Oron, 37, a police  officer who also heroically fought to save lives during the attack on the Nova festival. Displaced by the attack, Dina and Mario lived out of a suitcase in a Tel Aviv hotel room for nearly ten months before finally returning to their home in Sderot in August 2024. Their family embodies resilience and unwavering faith in the face of adversity.
