Here comes my youngest daughter, Ahuva! She may be the youngest girl in the family but you will quickly see from the interview she is wise beyond her years. She is a talented 16 year old that helped all her siblings prepare for this season!!! She dances, sings, plays basketball and loves making TikToks.
