Abby Stiefel 
Abby Stiefel is a 6th grade student at Yeshivat Noam and lives in Teaneck, NJ.  For her Bat Mitzvah project she learned how to become a mitzvah clown with her friends and then went to a local nursing home (CareOne at Teaneck) to cheer people up!  Abby plans on mitzvah clowning regularly and is really excited about being a part of it.  She hopes that more people will get involved with similar programs.
