Ian Zachary Maduff, son of Aaron and Mimi (Halpern) Maduff of Flossmoor, Illinois, recently celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at Congregation Rodfei Zedek in Chicago, Illinois. Ian is the grandson of Eileen Chanenson Halpern and the late Herbert Halpern of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mike and Debbie Maduff of Colorado. A kiddish luncheon in the synagogue followed the service.
