Ryan’s Bar Mitzvah: February 24, 2024 (York Mills Gallery)

This was a great celebration to bring in the spring, the hottest year on record did not disappoint. However, on this Saturday evening, winter decided to take back what was rightfully hers, and it was one cold night. That did not take away from Ryan celebrating his bar mitzvah, no, this was going to be a party like no other.  I love being back at the York Mills Gallery, this is such a fantastic venue for a bar mitzvah, and today was not going to disappoint. Ryan was in great form as we started out our photography adventure. The chilly weather didn’t stop us, we walked around, got some pictures, and then invited the rest of the family to join us. Grandparents and extended family would have to wait inside until we were done. We wrapped up our family photos just in time for some delicious hors d’oeuvres being passed around, and it was time for the ceremony. The affable, Mel Koenigsberg was on deck to officiate, and as always, created a wonderful warm atmosphere. Party was to follow, and Slinky from the Magen Boys was holding court. We partied well into the night. Heidi Gruenspan brought this whole event together wonderfully and everyone had a great time. Mazel tov guys, such a nice night.
