Oliver celebrated his Bar Mitzvah with friends and family, the highlight of which was a Friday night dinner with parents, grandparents and cousins.听听

He enjoys family walks with Perry and Hazel (four legged buddies) as well as building glorious cities of Lego that adorn the shelves of his home,听and dives into sci-fi and fantasy books. Oliver's听favourite听Chag is Yom听贬补鈥檃迟锄尘补耻迟听as it鈥檚 鈥榟eaps of fun鈥�.听听

When asked what his greatest achievement has been so far, Oliver鈥檚 humility acted as a bit of a mind block. This is characteristic of his unassuming manner; he is a young man who takes life in his stride while being grateful for the blessings he enjoys. One of the ways Oliver demonstrated his 鈥榓ttitude of gratitude鈥�, and something that is听definitely a听nachas-giving achievement, is the way in which he marked his entry into Jewish adulthood: with a generous donation to Carmel from his Bar Mitzvah money. Oliver, your act of kindness and charity should serve as a message for others to follow, as well as be a source听of听blessing to you and your family.听听

Mazal tov, Oliver!听
