ABOUT OUR BAR MITZVAH , ETHAN HINTERMAN

Ethan has been a part of Kol Ami his entire life. He started Training Wheels with his older sister Rachel at 10 months of age and has continued to grow with his classmates. He attended The McGillis School for elementary years and is currently in 7th grade at Beehive Science and Technical Academy. When not at school, Ethan is heavily involved in Ice Hockey. He currently plays for the Knights out of the Salt Lake City Sport Complex. His other interests include video games, Rubik’s Cubes of all types, and hanging out with his friends. Ethan is excited for his Bar Mitzvah and cannot wait to share it with his family and friends.

We'll start the evening at 5:30 pm with a social hour called Shabbatinis. Our evening features both soft and hard drinks, as well as some light refreshments. Our Shir Shabbat service follows at 6:30 pm which focuses on joyous singing where we will sing mostly in Hebrew.
