Samuel will celebrate his Bar Mitzvah on November 13, 2010 at Congregation Beth Shalom in Seattle.
Sam is the son of Amee and Michael Sherer and the brother of Juliana. His grandparents are Gene and Gerry Huppin of Kirkland and Palm Desert, Calif., and the late Abe and Eunie Sherer.
Sam is a 7th grader at Eckstein Middle School. He enjoys sports, technology, being with his friends and family, and spending summers at Camp Solomon Schechter.
For his mitzvah project, Sam collected more than 200 new and gently used stuffed animals to give to children of the Homeless to Renter program and the Ryther Children’s Center. He is also donating a portion of his Bar Mitzvah money to support a favorite organization, HAMA (Humans and Animals in Mutual Assistance), in Israel.
