Stephanie Kolb and Josh Maker announce the Bar Mitzvah of their son, Eli Morris Maker, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, at Congregation Beth Torah.
Eli is the grandson of Sharon and Milton Katz, Overland Park, and Pauline and Larry Maker, Toronto. Great-grandparent is Jerome Inger, Los Angeles.
Relatives and friends are invited to worship with the family and to attend the Kiddush luncheon following the service.
Eli has five siblings — Asa Maker, Shia Kolb, Ezra Maker, Noa Maker and Hannah Maker. He is a junior thespian and loves acting and performing. He has been in many plays and musicals at The Culture House and Lakewood Middle School. Eli represented Kansas City in the arts fest for Maccabi last summer and competed in improv. He also enjoys art, cooking, playing video games and spending time with his family and friends.
Eli decided to give back to Congregation Beth Torah for his mitzvah project and with the help of his step-grandpa Natan Kolb he built two picnic benches for Beth Torah.
