This Shabbat we celebrate Ariella Tesler, daughter of Leonid & Victoria Tesler becoming a Bat Mitzvah!

Ariella Tesler is a 7
th Grader at the Martin J. Gottlieb Day School, where her favorite subject in school is Math. For her Bat Mitzvah project, Ariella, teamed up with her friend Laura, who will become a Bat Mitzvah in late January, to raise money for the Dreams Come True Foundation. The pair chose Dreams Come True Foundation because they wanted to help kids. Ariella loves to read, hangout with her family and friends and play volleyball. Ariella is also a Karate Black Belt and an active member of Setzer Youth Education's Kadima youth group, loves children and enjoys being a Leader In Training at Camp Ki Tov.
