Arielle will be called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah on February 7th, 2026!! This is a milestone event for Jewish youth, and we are excited for her and proud of all the hard work she has been putting in for it!

We are hoping to throw a celebration for all of Arielle’s family and friends in loving memory of her Grandpa “Papa Pete,” who would have been so proud to see her lead the Torah service and lain Torah at Kol Shofar, where his daughter Katy did nearly 30 years ago.

As Arielle’s mom, I want her to have a wonderful day, and yet, without my dad’s support, it will be hard to afford it on our own since costs of living have been so hard to keep up with in recent years! If you are able to support Arielle and our family with a donation, any help would be greatly appreciated.

We would also welcome any ideas for locations, food, etc.

As friends and supporters of our family, we would love to give you the opportunity to support Peter Litwack’s first grandchild celebrating Bat Mitzvah - and would, of course, love you to join us for the ceremony and celebration to deepen the presence of “Papa Pete” with us on this special day.

Saturday, February 7 - morning Shabbat service followed by kiddish at Kol Shofar and celebration to follow Saturday evening in Marin location TBD.
