On Saturday, March 5, Matthew Sackstein became a Bar Mitzvah and honored living rescuer Knud Christiansen by participating in the JFR’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah program. Matthew participated in the JFR’s invitation program, where each guest received a specialized invitation that honored Knud Christiansen’s legacy and explained the mission of the JFR. More information about the JFR’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah program can be found here. Matthew also had the rare privilege of meeting Knud prior to his Bar Mitzvah, which was very meaningful for Matthew and his family.[caption id="attachment_638" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Matthew Sackstein and rescuer Knud Christiansen, meeting before Matthew's Bar Mitzvah.
