About Brady 
Hello, TBE community! My name is Brady Levin. I am a seventh-grade student at Wellesley Middle School. I enjoy playing a whole lot of sports, including soccer, golf, basketball, and baseball. Every week I play soccer seven days a week and try to fit every other sport into my soccer schedule. I play for my Wellesley town team (Wolfpack) and my Wellesley Club team (Lions). I enjoy school and all my classes with my friends. I am a straight A student and enjoy learning. In my free time I like to hang out with friends, play with my new puppy, spend time with family, and play Fortnite.

My sister is 14 years old and soon to turn 15. Both of my parents are a lot older than me, and I won’t specify the age. Me and my sister get along most of the time. We have one dog named Ozzie and two guinea pigs named Nibble and Zeze. Two years ago, we traveled to Isreal to celebrate my sister’s bat mitzvah. We traveled the entire country. We visited Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and many other towns. We swam in the Dead Sea, visited Masada, and toured Eliat on our way to Jordan to see Petra. It was an amazing trip, and I hope to get back to Israel soon.

At school, a few of my all-time favorite classes are probably drama, art, or math. I like these classes because in these classes we have a lot of fun and I get to hang out with my friends. As a bar mitzvah, I am happy to be an adult in the eyes of the Jewish community and to take on more responsibilities. As for my community service project, I have yet to complete it, but I am looking forward to raising money and giving to people in need, and or buying them food, clothes, etc. As a Jewish adult I hope to better my life and help better people’s lives around me.

About Noa
Noa Orkand. I am happiest when I’m making things—painting, drawing, sculpting, knitting, or making jewelry. I have three siblings. My sister, Sarah, is 10 and my youngest sibling, Gabe, is 7. My favorite food is falafel, and I got to eat a mountain of it when I went to Israel with my family last year.

I am a seventh grader at Wellesley Middle School. My favorite class is science because I love looking at tiny things under a microscope!  Preparing for my bat mitzvah has been a lot of hard work, and I’m proud of what I have accomplished.
