Mazel Tov to Ariana Rose Ackerman on her Bat Mitzvah! On April 26, 2025, surrounded by over 150 beloved family members and friends, Ari proudly chanted from the Torah, marking her transition into Jewish adulthood.

The celebration that followed at the Sarasota Yacht Club was an unforgettable highlight, filled with joy, laughter, and cherished memories. Her parents, Ryan and Sepi Ackerman, and her sister, Sienna, beamed with pride, honoring the remarkable young woman Ari has become.

True to her middle name, Rose, Ariana embodies a beautiful balance of strength and grace — delicate yet resilient, soft yet unwavering. She is intelligent, playful, curious, and adventurous, continuously embracing life’s opportunities and challenges.

A dedicated student, Ari is a proud member of the National Honor Society at the Panther Gifted Academy at Sarasota Middle School. Beyond academics, she enjoys playing tennis, being with friends, traveling, and finds fulfillment in giving back to her community through her volunteer work with Holiday House SRQ.

Ariana’s Bat Mitzvah was not only a celebration of her achievements but a testament to her kind heart, sharp mind, and bright future.
