(Courtesy of Bris Avrohom) Meilach and Eitan Murkis, twin boys whose parents are from the former Soviet Union, had the privilege to prepare for their bar mitzvah under the tutelage of Rabbi Baruch Lepkivker. Bris Avrohom conducts classes for children from the former Soviet Union as well as for unaffiliated children.

On the day of their bar mitzvah, the boys were called up to the Torah at the Bris Avrohom Shul. In appreciation for all that was done for them in preparation of their big day, and in support of the soldiers in Israel, the two boys heroically undertook to don tefillin daily.

Their parents, visibly emotional and full of pride, expressed their hopes that through their sons’ new commitment and in the spirit of the bar mitzvah, they will see Jewish nachas from these children for generations to come.
