Samuel Ellis Jacobson, son of Jeffrey and Rachel Jacobson, will celebrate becoming a bar mitzvah on Saturday, Feb. 15, with Congregation Or Chadash at the Jewish Community Center.
Sam attends Tucson Hebrew Academy, and plays on basketball, football, and soccer teams. He enjoys travel.
For his mitzvah project, he is collecting gently used toys, games, and books to donate to a local charity offering assistance to homeless and sheltered families with children.
