MEMORIES!!!!!!


It is one week after the fact and we are still flying high on the memories of Judah's wonderful, weekend-long bar mitzvah.

Simply put, it was magnificent.

He layned (read Torah) like an angel.

He played cello like a virtuoso.

He gave his Bar Mitzvah speech with panache and charm.

He wowed us.

He made us proud beyond belief.

We had a great time.

He had a great time.

In the days to come, we will be posting:

  • Pictures
  • A slide show with music from his pre-Shabbat cello concert
  • His bar mitzvah's speech
  • Update on Judah's donation to the Touro Infirmary in New Orleans
  • Other mementos

To our friends and family who celebrated with us, thank you so much for surrounding us with warmth and love.

To the visitors of this blog, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I welcome your comments and questions.

To Judah, my youngest child, may you grow from strength to strength.

May you always look back at your bar mitzvah with joy and amazement at your extraordinary accomplishment.

May the memory of this beautiful time in your life and the life of our family always be with you, illuminating the way during times of darkness.

May you feel secure in the love of your family, friends and community; may you feel enveloped by the benevolence of God and the universe.

May the sweetness that you have as a young boy stay with you throughout your life.

May you have the privilege of sharing the gifts you have been given.

May you know that you are loved deeply now and forever.
AND ON A SPECIAL NOTE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA!!!I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE 20 YEARS OLD!!!! YOM HULEDET SAMEACH TO THE BEST BIG SISTER IN THE WORLD!!!!
