taking a big step. Some kids
only want to do what the
others are doing. I'm proud
of Annie. She could have
turned it down."
Annie said, "I knew the
twin bat mitzvah was spe-
cial. I didn't know it was this
special. I wanted to do some-
thing original. My tutor
asked me if I wanted to twin
with a Soviet. But I found
out there weren't many girls
my age left in the Soviet
Union (of refusnik status). I
said no. I even thought about
twinning with an Ethiopian
Jew, but then this came up.
"It seems to make
my bat mitzvah
more meaningful."
Annie Jerris
"It seems to make my bat
mitzvah more meaningful,"
said Annie, who will turn 13
in a few weeks. "It means a
lot to begin with, but now
it's even more meaningful."
For the past month,
Marina has studied with
Cantor Harold Orbach,
preparing for tonight's
event. Although Marina's
part consists of two English
prayers, both the Greys and
the Oksingorins are proud of
her.
"Considering she knows
little English, I think that is
an accomplishment," Annie
said.-
While Annie is familiar
with the situation in the
Soviet Union and feels sym-
pathy toward Marina, the
celebration has made her
family more aware of the
problems Soviet Jews face,
said Mrs. Jerris, who is con-
sidering joining Family-to-
Family.
As for Annie, she plans to
continue her Jewish edu-
cation by graduating from
the temple's high school, just
as her brother, Bradley, 21,
and sister Shayna, 18, did.
But for now most of her
energy is concentrated on
tonight's ceremony. Annie,
who has practiced for two
years, said, "I usually don't
get nervous in front of peo-
ple. But I think I'll be going
`Oh my' when they call my
name.'
Marina said she is more
nervous about the ceremony.
The service will end with
an Oneg Shabbat to honor
both girls who are slowly
becoming friends.
Marina's not sure how far
the friendship will progress,
but Annie said the ceremony
should bring them closer.
"I hope I can keep in touch
with her," she said. "We
share a bat mitzvah. That's
a big thing." ❑
