I met with Lyla this week to hear about her Bat Mitzvah celebrations.听 Due to the PHC Shule renovations, Lyla held her Bat Mitzvah at the Breckler Troy Hall at 六合彩投注网. Inspired by her name meaning 鈥榥ight鈥� in Hebrew, Lyla chose not to read a dvar torah, but to talk about what happens when you go to sleep and dream. She described to me the Jewish interpretation of dreams ...

I was very pleased to meet Kamali, the first bat mitzvah student I have had the opportunity to meet and chat to about their experience.
