in honor of Charlotte's Bat Mitzvah

Kiddush 2 Go Sponsored

KEN NAHMAN, DR. DAN & ESTEE MAZOR AND FAMILY

in loving memory of their mother Janet Nahman ז"ל​​​​​​​

Charlotte Sophia Funke will be celebrating her Bat Mitzvah with her family at Temple Menorah on February 11, 2022 and will then travel to Israel to join her best friend and cousin, Lucas, for a B’Nei Mitzvah ceremony on August 4, 2022 that will take place at Robinson’s Arch, a historical spot next to The Western Wall, surrounded by ancient Jerusalem stone. 

Charlotte is a 7th grader at Ransom Everglades School as well as a proud graduate of Lehrman Community Day

School, where she attended from pre-K through 5th grade. Charlotte plays on the Lacrosse team as well as participates in the Dance program at Ransom Everglades; however, some of her most favorite activities include online shopping and baking. 

Charlotte is a loving daughter to her parents, Tim and Lauren, and protective big sister to her little sister, Quinn.  Charlotte’s Hebrew name is Shayna, which according to its American origin, means ‘God is gracious’. This name also means ‘beautiful’ and ‘lovely’. Charlotte is gracious, lovely, beautiful inside and out, intelligent, witty and fiercely independent and we couldn’t be more proud of her. 

We would like to thank all our family who traveled near and far to celebrate this most joyous occasion with us. A special thank you to Rabbi Pearlson, Rabbi Kunis and Ros Lanes for all of your support and dedication to preparing Charlotte for this special day and leading up to her celebration in Israel.
Mazel tov, Charlotte. We love you so very much!
