10:00 AM Morning Service in the Molish Sanctuary and on Livestream BAT MITZVAH: JULIA ZIMMERMAN Daughter of Lee and Andrea Zimmerman
BAT MITZVAH - JULIA ZIMMERMAN Five years ago, when my brother went to JRA to do his Mitzvah Project I tagged along. Over the years from time to time, I would go work in the warehouse with my brother and my mom packing boxes. I always enjoyed placing the food items into the boxes as people traveled down the line. I had not volunteered during the pandemic and when my classmates and I went to help in the fall of 2021, I knew that returning to the JRA was my perfect Mitzvah project. I enjoy working in the warehouse and now I helped break down boxes and keep the supplies ready for those working the lines. I also like delivering the boxes to the apartment complexes and seeing the smiles on the people’s faces. Carrying the boxes is hard work, but I know the older residents don’t have much and that what I deliver helps them get by each month. I plan to continue helping and hope to see fellow congregants at the warehouse.
I would like to thank Rabbi Leib and all of my teachers at OYRTBA for helping me get to this day. A special thank you to Rabbi Tornberg for helping me prepare my Dvar Torah, Cantor Zarkh for helping me learn to chant and Mr. Bruce for helping me learn my Hebrew and my Torah portion. I am thankful to my mom for driving me back and forth to lessons. Thanks to my brother Sam for listening to me complain all the time but also for making me more motivated. Thanks to my Dad for his continued support and always believing in me when he says, “If you stay consistent, you’ll get better.”
Sunday's Pirkei Avot will be the LAST of the season. We will resume in the fall with Chapter 6! _________________________________________________

10:00 AM Morning Service in the Molish Sanctuary and on Livestream BAR MITZVAH: MILLER POSNAN Son of President Josh and Emilie Posnan
BAR MITZVAH - MILLER POSNAN For my service project I chose to volunteer at the Pooch Kaboose Dog Rescue in Jenkintown. Pooch Kaboose is a no-kill animal mission that helps secure, protect and provide a forever home for dogs that have been abandoned, abused or are homeless. When I went there, I would take care of dogs and puppies. I would do this by playing with them and taking them for walks around the area. Many times, puppies would come here whose previous owners could not take care of them. It is important that I would go there so that I would be able to help these puppies' lives get better.
Rabbi Leib, Rabbi Tornberg, and Cantor Zarkh all were people who greatly helped with my preparation. They all helped to prepare me for this day. Other people I would like to thank are my mom and dad and my sister, Piper, for their support and for making my day so special.

BAT MITZVAH - DARA CHARTOCK For my mitzvah project, I worked with Hart 2 Heart Animal Rescue. This is an organization that helps cats and kittens find loving homes. I was able to help foster many of these animals and give them all the love they needed to make sure they were happy. I also held a collection to get food and other needed supplies. In addition, I held an in - person adoption event at my local pet store. If you would like to donate to Hart 2 Heart, please Venmo @h2hfundraising.
I would like to thank everyone for making this day so special. I would especially like to thank Rabbi Leib, Rabbi Tornberg, and Cantor Zarkh for helping me through this journey and making sure I was on the right track. I would not have been able to lead today's service without their help. I would also like to thank my previous Hebrew school teachers and the rest of the administrative staff here at Old York Road Temple-Beth Am for making this day possible. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents, Cari and Mitchell Chartock, for giving me their support and doing everything they could to make this day so special. I appreciate and love them so much.

For my mitzvah project, I organized a bake sale to support Ukraine. At the bake sale, I raised $250. I chose this cause due to the war happening in Ukraine and my thoughts were with the children who have been affected by the war and what they must be going through. I donated the money to an organization called “Razom.” They provide critical humanitarian relief and recovery for families. They also aid orphans and families of Ukrainian military who died or were hurt in action. I hope that my efforts help the people of Ukraine as they are desperate for help at this time.

SAVE THE DATE! Friday, June 3, 6:00 PM Shabbat Under the Stars/Pride Shabbat/Czech Scroll Unveiling
We will be outside in the parking lot for this special Shabbat. We will supply the chairs; you can bring the cheer! Bring a bottle and toast our 75th anniversary and kick off the beginning of summer. Festivities begin at 6:00 p.m. in the lobby with a festive Pre-neg and an unveiling of our new Czech Scroll mural.
80 years ago, in 1942, the Jews of Louny, Tábor and Svêtlá nad Sázavou, Czechoslovakia, were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Three of the Czech Torah scrolls that originated in those towns, are currently held in the holy arks of Old York Road Temple-Beth Am in Abington, Pennsylvania. Now coinciding with our 75th anniversary, these three Torahs will be honored.
We have commissioned prominent artist Murrie Gayman to create a mural depicting the three towns, their Jewish citizens, and the Torahs they prayed with. The “Little Torah from Svêtlá” encased in plexiglass is flanked by representations of the Louny and Tábor Torahs, thus creating a lasting memorial dedicated to the Brill Family in memory the ten who perished in the Shoah.
Service begins at 7:00 p.m. with a special Oneg to follow. _________________________________________________

BAT MITZVAH - AMANDA MYERS
I’ve loved to be with and work with animals since I was little, especially cats. So, for my Bat Mitzvah project I am holding a fundraiser for Forgotten Cats. I chose Forgotten Cats, because in November of 2021 my family adopted two kittens named Princess and Sweetie from them.
Forgotten Cats even let us get them a few days earlier than planned. They were very nice people to talk to and we are glad that they gave us the chance to adopt Princess and Sweetie (who we later renamed Lily). Princess and Lily quickly became a part of our family and we have loved these two cats ever since.
For my Bat Mitzvah you can make a monetary donation in honor of my Bat Mitzvah, directly to Forgotten Cats through this link: https://forgottencats.org/services/donate/
Or, I will be collecting the following items: -Kitten food – wet & dry -Cat food – wet & dry -Cat Carriers -Cat Litter -Cat Treats
Items can be dropped off at my mom’s shop Olive Lucy 301 Leedom Street Jenkintown, PA 19046 Tuesday-Friday 10:00am-6:00pm; Saturday 10:00am-4:00pm.
I will be collecting now through the end of May. Thank you for helping me make a difference in these forgotten cats’ lives.
Thank you for supporting me in my Mitzvah Project.

10:00 AM Saturday Morning Service in the Molish Sanctuary and on Livestream BAR MITZVAH: ZACHARY BRUSILOVSKY Son of Dmitry and Dareen Brusilovsky
BAR MITZVAH - ZACHARY BRUSILOVSKY I decided to participate in a program for my Mitzvah project called WIN Buddies, which is a program at my middle school. WIN Buddies is something I participate in during Study Hall, where I volunteer spending my time with kids in Special Education. I really enjoy seeing how I can directly help make a difference in someone's life just by spending time with them or helping them overcome an obstacle in their path. I'm enjoying it so much that I plan on continuing to volunteer through the end of the school year.
I would like to thank everyone at Beth Am who has helped me throughout the years (since pre school!) up through helping me prepare for my Bar Mitzvah. I would also like to thank my grandmother, Bonnie Surrey, who has spent an enormous amount of time helping me perfect all of my Hebrew readings. Lastly, I'd like to thank my parents for always being there for me and pushing me towards my goals - even when I don't always want them to. Shabbat Shalom!

Alice may be the President's daughter, but she's nobody's darling. As bold as her signature color Alice Blue, the gum-chewing, cigarette-smoking, poker-playing First Daughter discovers that the only way for a woman to stand out in Washington is to make waves—oceans of them. With the canny sophistication of the savviest politician on the Hill, Alice uses her celebrity to her advantage, testing the limits of her power and the seductive thrill of political entanglements.
