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.
