From Sam’s Parents
On this page, you can share a bit about your child, your family, and what this milestone means to you.
We are so proud of Sam as he becomes a Bar Mitzvah. Over the past year, he has worked hard learning his Torah portion, leading parts of the service, and preparing a meaningful D’var Torah that he can’t wait to share with you.
Sam loves basketball, playing guitar, and spending time with his friends and cousins. We’re incredibly grateful to our family, friends, and community for supporting him on this journey, and we look forward to celebrating this simcha together.
