Lewis & Merrill’s B’nei Mitzvah: October 12, 2023
Occasionally I get to photograph a friend of one of my kids, and this was one of those morning. I knew these boys, and it was fun to see them in a different environment, vis-a-vis, at synagogue, not hanging out in my house. Lewis and Merrill were both good to go for photos this mitzvah morning. We met outside Beth Sholom, and while traffic whirled around us, we embraced the morning turmoil and took some beautiful photos. Both kids were great, but family photos would have to wait, ceremony was calling. We headed inside where the extended everyone were all gathered and ready to go. Rabbi Aaron Flanzraich was on deck to lead the service, and he did with the usual charisma and grace. We wrapped up the ceremony and headed to a delicious breakfast downstairs where hora and speeches were the order of the day. Family photos followed at the end of the day before we headed to Cedarvale Park to wrap the day. Guys, way to go. Mazel Tov.
