Jordan will celebrate his Bar Mitzvah on June 26, 2010 at Herzl-Ner Tamid Conservative Congregation on Mercer Island.
Jordan is the son of Gina and Marc Gonchar and brother of Micah and Ella. His grandparents are Fred and Lila Ehrlich of Edmonds and Joel and Nancy Gonchar of Scarsdale, N.Y.
Jordan just completed the 7th grade at The Jewish Day School, where he loves science, sports and math. He will commemorate his Bar Mitzvah by volunteering with Friendship Circle, a non-profit organization that connects Jewish teens and special-needs children. He will also make donations to three non-profit organizations in Israel: House To House, which serves people in need, The Forgotten People’s Fund, which funds B’nai Mitzvah for Ethiopian Jews, and the Leket Israel food bank. In addition, he will continue to volunteer at the Jewish Family Service Food Bank.
