Jacob Elijah Peters, son of Annette Hillman and Tom Peters, will celebrate becoming a Bar Mitzvah on Saturday, March 22 at Congregation Or Chadash.
He is the grandson of Charles Hillman and the late Donna Hillman of Palm Desert, Calif., and the late Robert and Jean Peters of Chicago.
Jacob attends Cross Middle School and enjoys playing soccer, baseball, reading and attending Comic-Cons.
For his mitzvah project, he is collecting toiletries and school supplies for Youth on Their Own, a nonprofit drop-out prevention program that supports the high school graduation of homeless, unaccompanied youth in the Greater Tucson region.
