Benjamin will celebrate his Bar Mitzvah on January 22, 2011 at Herzl-Ner Tamid Conservative Congregation on Mercer Island.
Benjamin is the son of Bonnie and Robbie Cape of Sammamish and the brother of Noah and Dalia. His grandparents are Deanna and Sydney Godel, Michael and Maureen Cape, and Pearl and Michael Caplan, all of Montreal, Quebec.
Benjamin is a 7th grader at the Jewish Day School. He loves all sports, especially swimming and soccer. He is an avid snow and water-skier and last summer participated in his first triathlon. Benjamin loves technology and is also a budding entrepreneur; his business, Benj Sells for You, has been selling people’s “stuff” on eBay since 2008. Benjamin has attended Camp Hatikvah in British Columbia for the past five years.
For his mitzvah project, Benjamin has been volunteering at the Friendship Circle. He has also set up a Youth Mitzvah Fund at the Jewish Federation and has asked his guests to give to his fund in lieu of gifts.
