Jordan Zeidman, a student in Long Island, New York, told the court that his maternal grandmother promised him $5,000 during his 2007 bar mitzvah. According to court papers cited in the New York Post, Zeidman’s grandmother told the boy, “I’m going to give it to your mom to hold for you.” But Jordan never saw the money, until now. A judge ruled on Tuesday that Shirley Lynne Zeidman, Jordan’s mother, must give her son the money, plus 9 percent interest for the last eight years and lawyer’s fees, Jordan’s lawyer, Steven Cohn, tells Yahoo Parenting. That should amount to somewhere between $10,000 and $11,000, Cohn says.
