"I tried to keep it a secret," Ava says. The secret was that she'd never been bat mitzvahed.

She grew up one of three Jewish kids in a class of 500. No Hebrew school, just "bits and pieces" of Jewish life: the traditions, the Hanukkah fun. "It made me who I am," she says. But when she stood in Jerusalem with thousands of Jewish athletes after winning a karate gold medal with Maccabi USA, that old doubt crept back in: was she Jewish enough to be there?

Then she got to Miami University. She almost skipped the Hillel welcome barbecue. Walking in alone felt like too much. Her roommate told her to go. She went. She kept going back.

Today, Ava is the one who notices a freshman hovering by the door and pulls them in. Every Friday, she's back at the Shabbat table.

"I felt like I had a community."

Your gift saves a seat at the table for a person looking for a place to belong.

Our Family Shabbat was the perfect start to the weekend!! 🕯️

Rooms full of people, bellies full of food, and so many new faces we loved getting to meet your families. 💙

And we capped it all off with a RedHawks win! 🏈

Thank you to everyone who came out you made it a weekend to remember.
