On Oct. 26, Alycia Levy, daughter of Stefanie and Michael Levy of Silver Spring, became a bat mitzvah at Shaare Tefila Congregation in Olney. Joining in the simcha were sister Emily and grandfather Larry Sanders of Arlington.
For her mitzvah project, Alycia sold handmade beaded bracelets and raised money for CHAI, an animal welfare organization in Israel that provides free spay and neuter services to stray cats and dogs. Alycia is an eighth-grader at Takoma Park Middle School in Silver Spring.
Congratulations Alycia. Glad to hear you are doing well.
