About our Bar Mitzvah, Isaac Duran-Rojas

Isaac Duran-Rojas

Isaac was born on May 10, 2012, in Colombia. His name means “the boy who will make you laugh,” and that perfectly describes him—a boy with a kind heart, a spirit of service, and a calm, joyful nature that makes him someone you always want by your side.

Isaac moved to Utah at the age of 4, where he adapted his new lifestyle, language, and culture in the most natural way possible. At school and at home he stands out for his kindness, respect, and compassion, and he is always open to making new friends. He loves going to amusement parks and especially enjoys the tallest and most challenging rides.

Isaac dreams of becoming a teacher. He has a deep interest in education, reading, and exploring new languages. When given the opportunity to volunteer as a teaching assistant for the Rafi Schwartz Religious School, he didn’t hesitate to say yes (thank you, Kol Ami!). Every time he works with younger students, he does so with a smile and a genuine enthusiasm for helping others.

A naturally curious boy, Isaac is always exploring his surroundings and demonstrating his leadership. At home, he enjoys baking cakes and loves to pamper his mother—whether by combing her hair or hugging her when she needs it most. As a brother, he is someone Thomas can always count on, showing his big heart through his thoughtful actions.
