continued “We were meant to see that invitation, to find the JFR,” Deb-
ra Goldstein said. “Noah being lectured at his public school
by someone who was hid and saved by a righteous — that was
meant to be. And we had no idea that when we went to the
restaurant, when we booked the restaurant for the luncheon,
the Confederation House, that had some connection to the Ho-
locaust, and it just really felt meant to be.”
For Noah and his family,

with JFR is important,
even post-Bar Mitzvah.

The GoFundMe page remains active at gofundme.com/No-
ahHelpsJFR, and will remain so until he reaches his $18,000
goal. As of publication, he’s hit more than 50 percent with $9,254
raised. They continue to exchange emails and photos with Rose
and her family and cultivate their relationship.

“Our whole family was incredibly moved from start to fin-
ish,” Debra Goldstein said.

“It’s meant a lot to me,” Noah added. “I’ve put a lot of time
and work into my Bar Mitzvah project and the fact that I feel
good about the decision that I made to pick the JFR really makes
me think I made the right decision in making the JFR my Bar
Mitzvah project.

“It really took me by surprise because when I stepped into
the invitation store, I would never think that I would step out
with the start of a path that would leave me with a relationship
that I will never forget.” l
