About Sadie
Hi, I’m Sadie Cohen, and I attend Wellesley Middle School. Science, math, art and Chinese are great, but making new friends is what I really love. At home, it’s my Mom and Dad, Lara and Craig, and cat named Pepper. I also have two older sisters, Dara and Morgan, who are “adulting” as we like to say.

In my free time, I like to play and listen to music, draw, and hang out with my friends. I love to run around my neighborhood with all the kids who live on my street. I play the saxophone, piano, electric bass, drums and guitar.

I’ve attended TBE since pre-school and participate in High Holidays and some Shabbat services. And I’m a member of the T’filah Band Too. I like that our Temple is so inclusive to all people and supports amazing movements like LGBTQ+ rights, Black Lives Matter, and organizations like Cradles to Crayons.

I have decided to become a B’Mitzvah to become closer to something bigger than just myself (Judaism). For my service project, I have been helping out at Off The Rocks Rescue, an animal welfare organization dedicated to helping homeless cats because I love cats!

About Sam
Hi TBE,
I’m Sam Norden and I have skied every winter weekend since I was 2 years old. I enjoy skiing because  I can do it with friends and family. I also compete in the winter as a freestyle skier. I just landed my first 900!

I’m the middle child in my family and have a 14 year old brother named Eli and a 9 year old brother named Max. I also live with my parents Pam and Andrew and my dog Sherman.  I’m a seventh grader at the Belmont Hill School where my favorite subject is Science.  Both my parents are doctors and I think that may be why I find science to be so interesting,

For my Bar Mitzvah Project, my dad and I are participating in the Ride For The Living. The Ride for The Living is a 60 mile bike ride from Auschwitz to the JCC in Krakow. My family and I can’t go to  Poland but the ride has a virtual option.  I hope to participate in the live event when I am older.   The ride raises money to help rebuild Jewish life in Poland and also supports Ukrainian refugees.  These issues are both very important to me.

I am excited to become a Bar Mitzvah because it means I am becoming an adult in the Jewish religion.
