Doug, Drew and Jennifer stand on the bimah while practicing for Drew’s bar mitzvah on Nov. 25, 2025 at Temple Israel in St. Louis. Drew had an honorary bar mitzvah in April 2023 after doctors told his family they weren’t sure how much longer he had. On Nov. 29, 2025, Drew was able to celebrate his official bar mitzvah with his friends and family shortly before his 13th birthday.
