culminating in a Jeep (Land Rover) tour of the Golan Heights and mango<br />
orchards. Porter finished his TriMitzvahlon by planting trees in the Lavi Forest -<br />
initially barren land - as his “community service” after his Bar Mitzvah. Please<br />
take a few moments to ask Porter about his trip to Israel. We toured Israel for 12<br />
days - from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to the Golan Heights, then to the Dead Sea and<br />
Eilat. Every day was an experience, with many sights and sounds and experiences<br />
throughout. We hope our Bar Mitzvah experience in Israel will give other families<br />
the idea to do this as well.<br />
We would like to thank all of Porter’s Sunday School and Hebrew School teachers<br />
for assisting us in teaching him Hebrew and about being a great Jewish young<br />
man. We would also like to thank Rabbi Gila Ruskin for connecting us with<br />
Rabbi Judith. She is a wonderful woman and Rabbi. Thank you to Mark Wolkow<br />
for all your patience with Porter changing plans all the time, then changing<br />
completely from his Bar Mitzvah in October to his August Bar Mitzvah in Israel.<br />
Porter plans to continue his Jewish education for years to come.<br />
