Join Us This Shabbat!
This Shabbat we celebrate Joshua Miller, son Marc and Kimberly Miller becoming a Bar Mitzvah.
Joshua Miller is a 7th Grader at the Martin J. Gottlieb Day School. His favorite subject is Language Arts, because he like to write. For his Bat Mitzvah project Joshua, raised money for Heifer International. Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end world hunger and poverty and to care for the Earth. Heifer links communities and helps bring sustainable agriculture and commerce to areas with a long history of poverty.
