Please join us as Harper Brown is called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah on Saturday, February 14 at 10:00AM.

Harper is a seventh grader at Charleston County School of the Arts, where she studies cello as a String Orchestra major. This year, she earned a spot in the South Carolina Regional Music Educators Association Orchestra. Harper enjoys spending time with friends, plays on a championship Charleston Soccer Club team, and is teaching herself to play guitar.

She has been part of the KKBE community since she was little, starting with Tot Shabbat services led by Miss Robin. For her mitzvah project, Harper is creating birthday cake kits to be distributed through the Lowcountry Food Bank to a partner food pantry, so children can celebrate their birthdays with a cake.

We are incredibly proud of Harper as she celebrates her Bat Mitzvah and admire her kind heart, dedication to her studies at SOA, and commitment to her Jewish education.

Please join us for the Kiddush following the service. ...
