MATZAH WITH A MISSION, SUPPORT ISRAEL’S DEFENDERS
Starting next week, you'll be able to order matzah and support Israel defenders. Stay tuned for details!

Background - on the border of Egypt and Gaza, in the heart of the Negev Desert, lies Shlomit, a community dedicated to faith, resilience, and tradition. Here, Emunah Matzah is handcrafted from locally grown wheat and water from Jerusalem, embodying the spirit of Israel and the story of liberation.

In 2024, despite uncertainty and conflict, the people of Shlomit remained steadfast, baking and delivering Matzah for Passover. Now, you can be part of this mission. By donating Emunah Matzah, you’re sending a piece of tradition, faith, and strength directly to Israeli soldiers and their families, ensuring they celebrate Passover with the spirit of unity and hope.

Mazal Tov Aerin!

Aerin Samantha Atkins is the beloved daughter of proud parents Amy and Andrew Atkins, and a loving younger sister to Avery Atkins. Aerin is honored to become Bat Mitzvah and to continue the beautiful and meaningful traditions of her Jewish heritage. Aerin is a proud alumni of Lehrman Community Day School. She began her Jewish education at LCDS when she was just 18 months old, and enjoyed studying Hebrew, celebrating Jewish holidays, and learning from the Torah in addition to her academic achievements. Curious, dedicated, and passionate about learning, Aerin has continued her education at Ransom Everglades School, where she is an outstanding 7th grade

student and a caring and devoted friend. Outside the classroom, Aerin plays for the Ransom Everglades softball team in spring and enjoys beach volleyball in the fall. Aerin loves dance, music, and singing, and has an affinity for Broadway shows, especially in New York City. She is an enthusiastic and inquisitive traveler, eager for adventures! Aerin celebrates summers with camp friends at Blue Star Camp in Asheville, North Carolina and is devoted to community service and helping others.

For Aerin’s mitzvah project, she continued her support of the JCS Kosher Food Bank, which provides food and resources to the most vulnerable in our Jewish community: Holocaust survivors, the elderly, and families and children in need. Aerin has donated kosher food, baby supplies, and cleaning products, as well as backpacks and school supplies, and she devoted her time over spring break to stocking the food bank shelves.

Aerin is an extremely loving daughter, sister, family member, and friend. We are so grateful for the blessing of Aerin in our lives and for the joy and laughter she shares with us. Aerin’s parents could not be more proud of her for the dedication and responsibility she has shown in preparing for her Bat Mitzvah. We are honored to share your life’s journey and to witness your growth and the positive impact of your character on the world around you.

Aerin is thankful for the guidance and wisdom shared by Rabbi Pearlson, Rabbi Josh, and Rosalind Lanes who were devoted in helping Aerin prepare for this special celebration. We hold dear to us the love of family who could not be here today but who join us in spirit. A special thanks to Aerin’s family who traveled from New Jersey and Pennsylvania to be here today. We love all of you very much and we appreciate you being here to share this milestone with us.

Mazal Tov Sabrina!

Sabrina Finvarb, daughter of Laura & Ronny Finvarb, will be called to the Torah in honor of her Bat Mitzvah on Feb. 28, 2025. She is a proud graduate of Lehrman Community Day School and is currently in 7th grade at Miami Country Day School. Sabrina is the sweetest, most thoughtful daughter and an equally amazing little sister to Josh and Matthew. Her big brothers love spending quality time with her—whether in the pool, at the beach, boating, playing basketball, or working on puzzles—always with plenty of laughter.

Sabrina’s magnetic personality and incredible sense of humor are just a couple of the reasons she has so many friends at school and Camp Laurel. She is kind-hearted, considerate, and funny, always bringing joy to her family and friends. Her positive attitude and infectious smile make an impact wherever she goes. Sabrina excels in school, is a member of her school’s lacrosse team, and enjoys playing tennis in her free time. She also plays the piano and loves performing in dance shows. Traveling is one of her greatest passions, and she cherishes the time spent exploring different parts of the world with her family, especially skiing in Colorado and Utah. She treasures special moments with her grandparents in St. Barths and the Bahamas and eagerly anticipates summers in Maine with her friends at Camp Laurel.
For her Bat Mitzvah project, Sabrina is raising funds and dona-ting a portion of her gifts to support the rebuilding of the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center, which was tragically destroyed in the Southern California wildfires.
Sabrina’s drive and determination—whether in sports, the arts, or the classroom—are truly exceptional. We are incredibly proud of all that she has accomplished! She takes great pride in her Jewish heritage and has worked extremely hard for this special day. We are honored to celebrate Sabrina’s Bat Mitzvah with our beloved family and friends.
Sabrina is grateful to Rabbi Pearlson, Rabbi Josh, and Rosalind Lanes for their invaluable guidance and support in helping her prepare for this meaningful Bat Mitzvah milestone. She is deeply grateful to her family and friends for their unwavering love and encouragement, which make this celebration even more meaningful.
