Aiden’s Bar Mitzvah: December 26, 2022

Aiden’s Bar Mitzvah took place on a cold winter’s morning at Adath Israel. Everyone arrived bright and early looking very sharp. The guys were dressed in blue suits while Aiden’s mom sported a vibrant red dress. Everyone was photo-ready and excited for the simcha ahead. We started off with mini-sessions with Aiden and his older brother Ethan in the main sanctuary and outside hall area. Then we moved into immediate and extended family photos with Aiden’s parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Following portraits, guests began to arrive for the ceremony. Rabbi Seed graciously welcomed everyone and congratulated the Bar Mitzvah boy. Aiden did an amazing job getting through his long haftarah. Well done, Aiden! After the ceremony, everyone schmoozed in the hallway, then people moved into the Alex Tobias Hall for brunch. There was a delicious spread of bagels, lox, cream cheese, potato latkes, and tasty desserts. The speeches were funny and heartfelt, and everyone had a good time eating, chatting, and celebrating. After some fun interactive games with Aiden as the theme, prizes were awarded to the winners and then more schmoozing ensued. Mazal Tov on a beautiful simcha, guys.
