Siblings Engage in Local Service, Celebrate B'Nai Mitzvah

Eighth-grader Maelyn Alexander and her brother, seventh-grader Jaron, celebrated their b’nai mitzvah on March 13, 2021.

To prepare for their b'nai mitzvah, Maelyn and Jaron completed a variety of service projects including distributing clothing and toiletries to families in need with Hosea Williams Feed the Hungry, volunteered in the kitchen of the Zaban-Paradies Center at The Temple where they also donated more than 75 lunches for homeless couples in transition, curated back-to-school packs for Creating Connected Communities, and volunteered at the Shepherd Spinal Center.
