Probably my favorite thing about being Jewish is challah. I always love waking up and making toast made of challah. To me, becoming a bar mitzvah means becoming mature – taking on more responsibilities and being capable of harder tasks. As I prepared for my bar mitzvah, I have learned a lot, including that learning new languages is not that hard.

I chose to volunteer at The Friendship Circle for my Mitzvah project. Friendship Circle is an organization that pairs special needs kids and other kids who have trouble making friend with volunteers their age. We meet on Sundays and we all do really fun activities and it is very enjoyable.
I do not go to temple much, and usually when I do it is either a High Holy Day or I am going to a bar mitzvah. I think as an adult, I won’t go every week, but the temple is still a very cool place to be and I will come more often.
