Bella Ruth Wexler, daughter of Allison and Michael Wexler, will celebrate becoming a bat mitzvah on April 16 at Congregation Or Chadash.
She is the granddaughter of Charlene and Samuel Wexler of Chicago and Susan and Jerry Zandman of New York.
Bella attends Esperero Canyon Middle School and is an honor student. She serves as student council treasurer, plays the French horn, and competes on the school’s Science Olympiad team.
She is an avid writer and poet. She also enjoys being on the Old Pueblo Gymnastics Academy’s Tumbling and Trampoline team.
For her mitzvah project, Bella volunteers and raises money for HoofsnHorns Farm Sanctuary. She would like to increase awareness of the dangers of factory farming.
