Hey there! My name is Jason Orchant. I am a 7th grader at Madison Middle School. I have an older sister named Rebecca, and my parents are Marc and Sue Orchant. Things that I enjoy are video games, drawing, and working on the computer! My Torah portion is the very special Bereshet. Please join me as I am called up to bless the Torah on October 9th. I look forward to seeing you there!

Shalom! My name is Elizabeth Spalding. I'm an 8th grader at Moriarty Middle School. I like singing, shopping and talking with my friends. I am in the show choir, Pzazz!, and also help write headlines for the school newspaper. My parents are Robin and Joe Spalding and my older brother is Michael. For my Mitzvah project, I volunteered at the Torrance County Animal Shelter. Any donations of pet food or supplies would be greatly appreciated and given to the shelter to help the homeless animals of Torrance County. My family and I welcome you to attend services on Saturday, October 30th when I will read from the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah.
