BAT MITZVA SIMONETTA CELENTANO SMERLING

Last Saturday, October 26, Simo not only celebrated his birthday, but also uploaded to read the Torah for the first time. It was a very intense and very exciting Bat Mitzvah, where Since Friday, October 25, Simo demonstrated that he knows how to lead Shabbat services with ease and confidence, but above all with a lot of kavanah. In his speech and comment parsha Bereshit, Simo told us about the principles, how his life has changed since who began studying for his Bat Mitzvah, how he has come to delve into many aspects of her tradition that have led her to better understand who and what Judaism is. On Sunday Simo put on tefillin for the first time and together we learned a little about story of the first Bat Mitzvah, the first female rabbis and about a story from the Talmud that talks about women and reading the Torah. It has been a year and a half of a lot of learning and of many beginnings in which Simo has become madrija of NOAM and has involved a lot in the community's religious services, but there is even more, on Saturday in the afternoon before the NOAM activities began, spontaneously, Simo already He started helping the boys who are preparing for their Bar Mitzvah.
