About Coco

Marni Coco is a joyful, curious, and creative young woman who loves [insert her favorite interests here – art, music, sports, books, etc.]. She has worked hard preparing for this milestone, studying Hebrew, practicing her Torah portion, and learning what it means to take on new responsibility in Jewish life.

We are incredibly proud of the care, thoughtfulness, and humor she brings to everything she does, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
