Look who's Sorkin to Tara

A BATMITZVAH girl was the Sork of the town after her celebrations this weekend.

Tara Sorkin was blessed by Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks at the ceremony at Beth Hamidrash Hagadol Synagogue on Shabbat.

And she was then entertained by X Factor star Danyl Johnson at her party.

Tara, daughter of Gaynor and Jeremy Sorkin, of Alwoodley, noted in her shul address that having Lord and Lady Sacks at the simcha had made her day extra special.

Talented singer Tara has won competitions at the Harrogate Competitive Festival so it was apt the X-Factor favourite was present.

Grandparents Charlisse and Martin Levy, of Manchester, and Brenda and Sydney Sorkin, from Leeds, together with Yaffa and Jonathon Goldstein, from Israel, joined relations from London at the simcha.

Tara has two brothers, Zack, 16, and Jake, 15, who attend the Grammar School at Leeds.
