Kara Harper Freiden, daughter of Robyn and Seth Freiden, will become a bat mitzvah on Saturday, Nov. 2, at Congregation Beth Shalom. 

Kara is the granddaughter of Anne Jacobs and Bari and Floyd Freiden, and she has an older brother, Dylan.

A student at Leawood Middle School, Kara enjoys dancing, art, reading and spending time with friends.

For her mitzvah project, Kara raised more than $12,000 for Breakthrough T1D (type 1 diabetes) and volunteered at the organization’s gala and walk.
