Isabella Grace Kroll, daughter of Jessica and Aaron Kroll, will become a bat mitzvah on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2022.

The family are members of Congregation Beth Shalom.

Bella’s grandparents are Marcia Karbank and Patti Kroll. Her siblings are Madelyn (10), Victoria (7) and Emilia (4).

In addition to playing volleyball, basketball and soccer, Bella enjoys riding on her longboard. In her free time, she also enjoys drawing and painting.

For her mitzvah project, she decided to participate in the Waifs Day Out program at Wayside Waifs animal shelter. Bella visits the shelter and takes a dog out for two-hour field trips which include car rides, walks in the park and “pup-cup” treats. She loves to help the dogs get a break from "shelter-life" and give them love and attention. Bella and her family (along with some aunts, uncles and cousins) teamed up to raise money and walk in Wayside Waifs’ "Strutt With You Mutt" 5K in Sept. 2022.
