Bar Mitzvah of Shane Rosenberg (February 15, 2020) We are so proud and excited to celebrate Shane’s Bar Mitzvah at Temple Beth Am on February 15, 2020. Shane is a 7th grader in the Finance Program at Duncan Middle School. A sports-lover since birth, Shane spends most of his time at the baseball fields where he has been part of the Palm Beach Gardens Rec and Travel programs since he was six years old and has played for Duncan the past two years. He also enjoys playing football, basketball, tennis, and golf, spending summers at Camp Winadu and hanging out with his brother, Kyle. For his Bar Mitzvah project, Shane has been collecting helmets for The Miracle League, which makes it possible for children with physical and mental abilities to participate in baseball, and is looking forward to helping their organization when their new fields open soon in PBG. We are excited Shane will become a Bar Mitzvah at Temple Beth Am where he spent his preschool years, and want to thank Rabbi Alon Levkovitz, Rabbi Brett Tancer, and Cantorial Soloist Marcy Morris for all their help preparing Shane for his special day. Michelle & Phil Rosenberg
Bat Mitzvah of Laura Friedman (February 22, 2020) It is with great pleasure that we announce that our daughter, Laura Molly, will be called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah at Temple Beth Am on February 22, 2020. Laura is in 7th grade and attends the Arthur I. Meyer Preparatory School. She is an avid writer and artist and loves bicycling, swimming, skiing, and hanging out with her friends. Laura also plays flute with the Meyer Prep band and can’t wait to return to Camp Coleman this summer! It has been such an amazing journey to watch Laura as she has blossomed into a caring, bright, and beautiful young lady. Laura has chosen to support Temple Beth Am’s social action activities as her mitzvah project. We would like to thank Rabbi Alon Levkovitz, Rabbi Brett Tancer, Cantorial Soloist Marcy Morris, and Laura’s wonderful teachers at Meyer Prep for helping Laura realize her goal of becoming a Bat Mitzvah. We look forward to celebrating with family and friends as Laura embraces the tradition of l’dor v’dor, joining brother Ben and sister Sara in becoming a member of the adult Jewish community. Pamela & Robert Friedman
