     It is with great pride and joy that we, Laurent and Angie, introduce our beloved daughter, Sienna Esther Chemla, as she becomes a Bat Mitzvah. Sienna is a shining light in our family, a loving and respectful daughter whose dedication to her family and siblings is unparalleled.
     She is a diligent and excellent student, consistently working hard and demonstrating outstanding character. Sienna is currently an 8th-grade student at Miami Arts Charter, where she is an active participant in the theater program. Her passion for performance is matched by her athleticism, as she excels in volleyball and plays on the  advanced travel team at NMB Academy. Beyond her academic and athletic pursuits, Sienna also enjoys playing the piano, has a deep love for languages, and enjoys immersing herself in international movies and

Korean drama. Her kindness and caring nature extend to her friends and everyone she meets, making her a cherished member of her community. 

     Sienna's commitment to making a difference is evident in her active participation in Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization. She is proud to support and help the land, people, and future of Israel through her volunteer efforts. This summer, Sienna had the profound experience of returning to Israel, where she spent cherished moments with her grandfather, Franklin Chemla. During her visit, she witnessed firsthand the resilience and strength of the Israeli people in the face of adversity, especially following the tragic events of October 7th. Sienna's understanding of the importance of these experiences has deepened her commitment to her heritage and the Jewish community.

      We are incredibly proud of the young woman Sienna has become and are excited to see her continue to grow and make a positive impact in the world. Please join us in celebrating Sienna Esther Chemla as she embraces this significant milestone in her life. We thank you all for being a part of this important day for our family.

Gideon Peri, 38 from the town of Kedumim in Samaria, was murdered on Sunday in a terror attack at the Baron industrial area near his hometown. A Palestinian Arab employee at the industrial area attacked Peri with a hammer, stole his gun, and fled the scene.

Peri, a Kedumim native, was the manager of a factory in the Baron industrial area. He struggled with the terrorist but was severely injured and later in the evening succumbed to his injuries at Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva. He is survived by his wife, three children, parents, and siblings.
