Brad Rosen, a 10-year-old
Lone Pine Elementary School
fifth-grader, was excited about
the upcoming bat mitzvah of his
13-year-old sister, Jamie. But
what really touched him was an
opportunity to participate in the
simcha. No, not from the seats,
but right there on the Shaarey
Zedek bimah. Brad was given
the honor of leading the congre-
gation in the recitation of the
Prayer for the Country.
"The fact that he wanted to
participate was a thrill for the
entire family," said his mother,
Harriett Rosen, who pho-
tographed Brad practicing and
submitted the picture. Brad and
Jamie live with their parents,
Harriett and Fred, in West
Bloomfield.
