Mazal Tov Daniel Amsel!
Daniel Yomtov, a Miami Beach native, became the first grandson in the Amsel Neumann Families on January 05, 2010 and spent some of his early years in Caracas. He studied at "Hebraica Moral y Luces Herzl-Bialik" until the age of 9 when Daniel moved back to Miami Beach with his family. He completed elementary school at Lehrman and is currently enrolled in 7th grade at Scheck Hillel.

In his free time, Daniel enjoys playing soccer, video games, 

chess, and ping-pong. His unique sense of dark humor often brings laughter to those around him. At school, he excels in math and science, but it is his dedication to his Judaic studies, such as Rabbinics and Torah, that truly sets him apart. His teachers have described him as a profound and deep thinker.
Despite his many talents, Daniel remains a respectful and mature young boy who treats everyone with kindness. He has a younger brother, Joel Abraham, who is currently in Elementary School at Scheck Hillel, and a beloved dog named Brownie who joined the family during the pandemic.
Looking towards his future, Daniel is interested in pursuing a career in medicine or science.

We the Nation of Israel Mourn Our Brethren  
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of Palestinian terrorists — torn apart in one senseless moment. 

Hillel Menahem (22) and Yagel Yaakov Yaniv (19), brothers from Har Bracha (near Mount Gerizim), were murdered by a terrorist when their car came to a traffic light in the Arab village of Hawarra. Hillel recently completed his military service in the Israeli Navy and was studying in a yeshivah in Kiryat Shmona. Yagel was a yeshivah  student in Givat Olga, preparing for IDF service. They are survived by their parents and 3 younger siblings.
Elan Ganeles (26), an Israeli with U.S. citizenship, was murdered by a terrorist while driving near Jericho. Elan grew up in West Hartford, CT and made aliyah. He served in the IDF and then attended Columbia University. He was known as being kind and funny. He worked for the Knesset Finance Committee and was involved in local communal work. Even as a teenager he volunteered for the Jewish Family Services in West Hartford.

Parashah Bo

6 Sh'vat 5783  •  28 January 2023
General Overview
Hebrew/English Linear Translation  •  Text with Rashi's Commentary 

Thursday Bar Mitzvah: Mazal Tov Ezra! 

Ezra Mitrani Buchman became the first grandson in the Buchman Mitrani Families on January 22, 2010. During his early years, he attended the Temple Beth Shmuel Montessori School where we have some fondest memories with families and friends. Ezra went on to North Beach Elementary School but finished 5th grade at Lehrman Day School just in time to pick up his Hebrew studies for his Bar Mitzvah. Ezra joined his sister Drea at Ransom Everglades for middle school.  

Ezra loves sports.  He has been playing basketball since

he was very young and this year he plays for both the Miami Beach Elite JCC Travel team and the Ransom Everglades Basketball team when he is not studying for his Bar Mitzvah.
He can share detailed statistics on any player, on any sports team. Ezra organized a live Fantasy Football League with his friends this year which made for a vibrant and busy first semester of his school year.
Ezra is always the guy to make his family laugh. He is a critical thinker and makes a real effort in his studies.  
Ezra has an older sister, Drea, who is fifteen years old and a younger sister, Arielle Mazi, who is eight years old. The Buchman Family also have a dog named Millie, who joined their family two years ago during the pandemic. 
Ez is looking forward to going back to Camp Judaea this summer with his friends and this time, his younger sister Ari will join him.
