Mackenzie will celebrate her Bat Mitzvah on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at Herzl-Ner Tamid Conservative Congregation.
Mackenzie is the daughter of Susie and Arthur Goldman of Sammamish and the sister of Brandon. Her grandparents are Dorothy and Malcolm Lederman of Bellevue, Jo Ann Goldman of Bellevue, and the late Murray Goldman.
Mackenzie is a 7th grader at Pacific Cascade Middle School. She loves singing and acting, and spends most of her time on a performance team with Big Star Studios. She adores her family and friends, loves to travel, play basketball and attend as many Mariners games with her dad and friends as she can.
As part of her ongoing mitzvah project, she has been a volunteer with the Sammamish Arts Commission “Au-Some Artists” program, where she mentors special-needs children as they follow a curriculum and create fun art projects. She is also collecting dog food, cat food or pet toys to be donated to Homeward Pets, a no-kill shelter in Woodinville.
