Yesterday Rachel had a rehearsal for her bat mitzvah. She got to practice reading at the podium into the microphone...and it was the first time we could hear her interpretation of what her Torah portion is about, the meaning of that to her, and how her mitzvah project (volunteering at New Pond Farm) relates to that. Without giving too much away, she spoke about treating people kindly and equally and how she draws on her love for animals as an example of how she would like to show love in her relationships with people. It was really beautiful, and we're so proud of her!
