Eli Finn Berger, son of Erin and Aaron Berger, will become a bar mitzvah on Saturday, Oct. 18, at Congregation Beth Shalom.
Eli’s grandparents are Margaret and Arthur Berger of Leawood, Kansas, and Jody and Buzz Malashock of Omaha, Nebraska. He has one sister, Micah.
A 7th grader at the Pembroke Hill School, Eli enjoys sports and is a proud member of The Carriage Club’s hockey and swim teams. He enjoys playing chess, reading, managing his fantasy football teams and spending his summers with friends at Herzl Camp.
For his tikkun olam project, Eli organized a “Swim & Dive-A-Thon” to raise money, collect non-perishable food and raise awareness for the Jewish Family Services Food Pantry.
