My name is Sydney Zimney. My Bat Mitzvah is November 2, 2024. For my Mitzvah, Project I performed in 2 performances of the play Hidden at Beth Sholom. Hidden, a story about one of KI’s members, Ruth Kapp Hartz, one of the 100 hidden children of the Holocaust.  First, as Renee, the younger version of the main character, last year in May, in a Dramatic Reading at Abington Friends School to introduce the story and then again in September, in a full performance at Gratz for 5 nights. My relationship with Ruth, and the play, was really inspiring to me and stared me on investigating my own Jewishness and really was the springboard that launched me to this point as a Bat Mitzvah. I attend Abington Friends School. My hobbies include theater, singing, soccer, lacrosse, drums, piano and art. I play soccer and lacrosse. My parents are Amy and Michael Zimney.
