Joseph B. Cohen, son of Nancy Cohen and Stephen Cohen, will celebrate becoming a bar mitzvah on Dec. 19, at Congregation Or Chadash.
He is the grandson of Janet Gagnon of Tucson; Alan and Susan Cohen of Palm Springs, Calif.; and Warren and Pat Henderson of Dunbarton, N.H.
Joseph attends Orange Grove Middle School, where he is on the honor roll.
For his mitzvah project, he volunteered with Integrative Touch for Kids at its retreat last summer and is looking forward to returning next summer.
