BAT MITZVAH - LAUREN SASS
“Given my deep love for the Arts, I had initially hoped to put on a charity performance, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I have changed my mitzvah project and will now be collecting gently worn dance shoes and costumes to donate to dance schools across the country. Music, theater, and dance have been such an integral part of my life, that I hope this might help awaken a creative spirit in those who are otherwise less fortunate than me.  Performance-based schools have taken such a huge hit during the pandemic and my hope is that this will help in some small way in the rebuilding of their programs.
I am grateful to so many people who have helped me reach this important milestone. First to my family, including my parents, brother, Aaron, and grandparents for always supporting and believing in me. I’d like to thank all of the clergy from Old York Road Temple Beth-Am for their guidance. Thank you to Rabbi Leib for conducting my run-through, to Rabbi Tornberg for assistance with my D’var Torah and Cantor Zarkh for helping me prepare for this special day. A heartfelt thank you also goes to my teacher, Mrs. Iris Spector, for all of her tutelage for my Bat Mitzvah. “ _______________________________________________
