Mazel tov to Rowyn Simmermon who is celebrating her Bat Mitzvah this Shabbat! Mazel tov to Rowyn's parents, Chris and Samantha Simmermon, and to all of the family and friends who are joining us this Shabbat for the Simcha!

Rowyn Simmermon is an amazing young woman. She is a compassionate person with a big loving heart. She is named after her grandmothers Ruth and Sonia.
 
Some of Rowyn’s favorite things are fashion, sculpting, effects makeup, going on bike rides with her brother C.J., and playing basketball in the park. She is always looking to spend time with her friends once she has finished her school work for the day.
 
Rowyn loves to be outdoors and to spend time with her family. She loves to visit with her cousins Mason, Maya and “her baby” Shayna. When she is at home you can see her spending time with her dog Falcor and cats Charlie (nicknamed chu chu bein) and Niche.
 
She is looking forward to celebrating her Bat Mitzvah with her parents, Samantha and Christopher; brother C.J.; great-grandparents Sheila, Frank and Grace; grandparents Jerry, Tess, and Joyce; aunts and uncles Berry, Ariele, Chelsea and Ari, Christine and Mathew, and Sean, and all her extended family and friends.
