Lucas’s Bar Mitzvah: October 24, 2025
I was back at Morton’s Steakhouse on University for another mitzvah dinner. I’ve been here before, and my memory served me well, it’s dark, really dark, but only the lighting. The vibe was bright and buzzing, because Lucas’s family was there to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah. This dinner followed the morning ceremony. Lucas and I took a quick walk outside as the sun slid down and the city started to unwind. We grabbed a few photos in and around Morton’s, then brought in the rest of the family for portraits across the street and down the block. We moved fast and managed to squeeze in the extended family shots just before the sun vanished completely. Once the photos were wrapped, it was time to head inside for some schmoozing, mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres, blessings over the challah, a few heartfelt speeches, and finally, a proper Morton’s feast. Mazal Tov, guys. Way to go.
