Ethan’s Bar Mitzvah Torah Reading: September 11, 2025
This morning was Ethan’s bar mitzvah Torah reading at Petah Tikva, and the day could not have been more perfect. We kicked things off with a little walk around the synagogue, hunting for fun photo spots in the architecture and surroundings. Ethan was game, and we found some great ones before the family joined in. Once we wrapped up with the immediate crew, the big gang rolled in and we had a blast with all photo combos. Then it was time to head inside for the pre-bar mitzvah. The big day is Saturday, but today had all the good stuff — tefillin, Torah reading, and a delicious brunch, without the speeches and nerves, just an easy, joy-filled morning. Ethan, you crushed it. Mazel tov!
