Hello, my name Eric Freedman and I’m in 7th grade. I like to play soccer, swim, and hang out with my friends. I enjoy playing video games and my favorite subject in school is science.  I am really looking forward to my Bar Mitzvah and seeing my family who will be visiting from all over.

My Parashat is Naso which talks about many things including, the Nazirite Vow, the Chiefs of Israel giving their offerings, and Moses recruiting the Levities for tabernacle services.

I would like to give a huge thank you to Morah Iris for tutoring me and helping me through all my obstacles. I would also like to say thank you to Rabbi Berkenwald for helping me with my D’var Torah and for all of his patience. A shout out also goes to all of my teachers at Religious School at Sinai through the years. I would also like to thank my parents for encouraging me through this feat.

Stephanie Killgore and James Freedman invite you to join their families as they celebrate the Bar Mitzvah of their son, Eric, at Congregation Sinai. Kiddush luncheon, hosted by Stephanie and James, will follow the service. Please join Eric and his family for this wonderful simcha. All are encouraged to attend.

Shabbat morning services can be viewed at https://www.sinai-sj.org/live. No account or password is required.

Please note that if you attend in-person, you may appear on-screen. The livestream view will be of the ark, the bima, the podium and the first two rows in the Sanctuary. Anyone whose preference is not to be included in the frame should sit a few rows back and not ascend the bimah.
