Jan Tucker
Jan is a longtime teacher in
our religious school. She is approaching
a milestone 60 th birthday
and wanted to mark it by becoming
an adult Bat
Mitzvah.
―I wanted to do
something meaningful
and I wanted to
be an example for
my students. It is a
great way to keep up my Hebrew.
And it is an honor to read
from the Torah. The rabbi and I
have had many discussions on the
Torah portion and I have learned
a lot through the months.‖
Everyone is invited to come
and celebrate with Jan as she becomes
an adult Bat Mitzvah on
Friday, March 4, 2011. Mazel
Tov, Jan!

going.‖
