Ivy Joseph will help lead the Agudath Achim service and will be called to the Torah for her Bat Mitzvah Shabbat.

If you are planning to attend the Saturday morning service in person, the Joseph family requests that you CLICK HERE to let them know by May 21st so they can ensure appropriate distance for seating. You are also welcome to attend virtually by clicking HERE.

B'nai Zion will not have Torah Study or Service Saturday morning so that we are all able to celebrate with the Joseph family at Agudath Achim.

From Ivy for her Mitzvah Project:

Throughout the year 2020, I've learned a lot about people making changes in our world for the better. It has shown me what kind of person I want to be and how I want to effect change. I realize how this all starts with early education, because having good education early in life opens up opportunities in college and beyond. This May, I will become a Bat Mitzvah, and as part of that tradition, I have the opportunity to take part in a social action project. For my project, I have chosen to raise money and donate all the tip money I receive from playing my violin to the Community Foundation of North Louisiana's Early Childhood Education Fund . Please consider supporting me in this endeavor by making a donation. I thank you in advance for helping me give the children of North Louisiana an opportunity to change the world.

You can hear Ivy performing HERE. You can hear her in the Avenue Quartet HERE. If you leave a tip for the quartet HERE Ivy will donate her share to the Early Childhood Education Fund, or you can donate to the fund or learn more about it directly HERE.
