We don't have a President's message this month, but we thought you might enjoy this report from Carroll Greenfield...

February Celebrations

Although February is a short month it was packed with memorable events. The first Shabbat of the month, February 6th, was Adam Kort’s Bar Mitzvah.

Adam was fortunate to have 3 sets of grandparents attend and participate. Paternal grandparents Barney & Jean Kort presented Adam with a tallit, which was a very touching beginning to the service. Maternal grandparents, Robert & Andi Parker and David & Patricia Hortze participated by having aliyot and opening the ark. Adam's aunts and uncles and parents also recited blessings during the Torah portion of the service. Good family friend Gordon Wallack read the weekly Haftorah portion - a wonderful addition to the service.

Adam's Torah portion was Yitro. His speech led off with stating that it is one of only a few portions that are named after a person. He included information about how he relates to the portion where Yitro advises Moses to look to others for support. Adam spoke about how this doesn't come easy to him, but that he is learning to ask others for help. He used school work, performing in plays, tutoring for his Bar Mitzvah, and his mitzvah project as examples.

Adam's Mitzvah Project was collecting food for the SCV Food Pantry. Adam placed a request in his invitation for guests to bring non-perishable food to the service. His guests came through and about 10 bags of food were donated.

The reception was held at Porter Valley Country Club - the theme was Broadway - one of Adam's passions. There was a video montage of Adam through the years, and, of course, lots of dancing and games for Adam's friends.

Adam loves performing, especially in musical theater. He is actively involved in the ESCAPE Theater in Santa Clarita. In February, he performed in Lil Abner. Adam hopes to attend Julliard, to pursue his love of theater.

On the 20th it was the Bar Mitzvah of Justin Ross. The Torah portion that Justin read was Tetsaveh from the book of Exodus which deals with the construction of the Mishkan (mobile Temple) by the Israelites while they were in the desert. This portion also describes the garments that the Kohanim (priests) were instructed to wear which included the breastplate containing the 12 precious stones.

As for his Mitzvah Project, Justin has been involved in community service since 4th grade. This now includes helping with the Santa Clarita Marathon and Amgen Tour; New Leash on Life dog rescue; working concessions at Rancho Pico Jr. High School music concerts and with prop building and equipment handling for the West Ranch Band & Color Guard competitions and football games. Justin plans to continue to be involved and give back to the community.

Celebrating along with Justin were his parents Philip and Brenda and his brother Ryan. Of course his proud grandparents, Mark and Betty Turer and Ted Ross were in attendance to cheer him on. Justin was happy to have his aunts, uncles and cousins join in the celebration.

Justin, at 13, is an exceptional student who loves sports and has played both baseball and ice hockey. He is a percussionist in the Rancho Pico Jr. High School band and is hoping to attend West Ranch High School and play in the drum line of their marching band. With his love of sports, Justin just might want to pursue a career as either a sports agent or sports attorney. It sounds like he is well on his way to achieving whatever he sets out to do.

I know we all send these two wonderful young men a big Mazel Tov and wish them well in their future endeavors.

If you are having a special event please let me know so we can let everyone share in the fun.
