Hey, my name is Izzy Rothstein and I am a 7th grader. I enjoy musical theater, singing, hanging out and gaming with friends, and movie and game nights with my family. I’m excited and grateful to be able to have my Bat Mitzvah and celebrate all together.

My parshah is Emor, where God is telling Moses laws to give to Aaron and his sons, priests, and Israelites on Mount Sinai. Many of the laws are about marriage, animal sacrifices, holidays and rituals, and rules of conduct. 

I would like to thank Iris Bendahan for being my Bat Mitzvah tutor and Rabbi Berkenwald for helping me with my D’var Torah. I would like to give a big thank you to my parents who have always had my back and supported me through my ups and downs during this process. I’m excited to celebrate my Bat Mitzvah with everyone and have learned a lot about how I connect with my Jewish heritage along the way.

Shabbat Shalom!

Neal and Stephanie Rothstein invite you to join their family as they celebrate the Bat Mitzvah of their daughter, Isadora, at Congregation Sinai. Kiddush luncheon, hosted by Neal and Stephanie , will follow the service. Please join Isadora and her family for this wonderful simcha. All are encouraged to attend.
