Rafael Valdez Salomon will celebrate becoming a Bar Mitzvah on June 13, 2026 at Kol Ami Synagogue. He is the son of Shay and Nigel.
Rafael is an avid reader, left wing on his soccer team and green belt black stripe in Aikido. He enjoys acting in community theater and painting, but his favorite way to spend time is with friends, or swimming in the ocean. For his mitzvah project, he is trying to raise money to help a family in the Kakuma Refugee Camp buy an acre of farmland. See LandandLife4Adhil.com for more information.
