13th of Adar I, 5784







For his Mitzvah Project, Jacob Coblin is working with a local artist, Miran Elbakyan, to create a sculpture for Temple Sholom using hostage bracelets that will be softened, reshaped and incorporated into a metal treeconnected to Jacob’s Ladder. The ladder has broken rungs at the bottom representing the loss andtragedy; at the top they are sturdy, representing healing and hope. The tree symbolizes survivorsand our community emerging from the tragedy and growing stronger together.
Help Raise $5,000 for the sculpture and its installation at Temple Sholom. Any excess funds raised will be donated to help rebuild Kibbutz Nahal Oz, which was hard hit on October 7.

All funds collected will go towards the creation and installation of the sculpture, which will be unveiled on January 23, 2026, at the Oneg following Shabbat services the day before my Bar Mitzvah.
