THIS SHABBAT

Bat Mitzvah of Isabella Kersh

My name is Isabella Kersh and I am 13 years old. I live in New City, NY with my parents Alison and David and my younger brother, Brady. I am in 7th grade at Felix Festa Middle School and during the summer I go to Iroquois Springs sleepaway camp. I love hanging out with my friends and family, learning new things and helping people. I’m really passionate about singing, dancing and theater.  I also enjoy reading, being creative and just relaxing when I can. One day, I hope to attend the University of Pennsylvania and study law. I think it would be amazing to make a difference doing something I care about!
