About our Bar Mitzvah, Solomon Drits-Esser

Solomon Drits-Esser

Solomon is a true Renaissance man with a heart of gold. He was born in Salt Lake City to Midwestern parents and loves visiting family in Minneapolis, MN, and Madison, WI, each summer to enjoy the many lakes. He is thankful for his mom, brother, grandmas, grandpa, friends, family, teachers, neighbors, and, of course, Perry the dog.

Solomon will be starting 8th grade at Churchill Middle School in the fall. He enjoys all of his classes, especially his STEM classes where he gets to design, build, and experiment.

He loves to downhill ski, play tennis, and practice aikido at his dojo. He is a proud trumpet player and proficient baker and cook. He has been studying Japanese for a year, and instead of a big Bar Mitzvah party he and his lucky mom will travel to Japan in December.

Blending his love of baking with a love of animals, his service project was a neighborhood-wide bake sale with all proceeds going to Ritzy Rescue Ranch, a small, little-known animal sanctuary in Tooele. He thanks our wonderful and generous friends and neighbors who donated to the cause—hopefully they enjoyed his baked goods.

Solomon has attended religious school at Kol Ami since first grade. He would like to thank Rabbi Spector, Cantor Davis, Tamara, Tracy, his teachers and tutors, and other staff and friends at Kol Ami for helping him get to this important milestone in his life!
