Recently, Miriam celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at the Chabad Center. During the celebration, she shared a heartfelt and inspiring message:
"Thank you for coming to my Bat Mitzvah.
This past year has been full of amazing surprises. It all started when I joined Chabad Hebrew School. I learned a lot from my teacher and made some great friends.
One of the highlights was a Shabbaton trip to Crown Heights that Chabad Hebrew School arranged for us. That weekend was the first time I fully experienced Shabbat. We stayed in a Jewish home, ate a Shabbat dinner, prayed in the synagogue, and had a fun time with friends.
That weekend made a big difference in my life. When I came home, I decided to transfer to a Jewish school, start keeping Shabbat, and ask people around me to call me by my Jewish name.
I even asked for another Shabbaton and I was invited back for another Shabbat in Crown Heights by myself.
So thank you to my teacher and to Chabad Hebrew School for changing my life in the most positive way. I hope that my story can inspire you to also grow more in Judaism and strengthen our connection to Hashem."
A spontaneous loud applause followed her speech by all the participants. |
