Jack’s Bar Mitzvah: Dec 17, 2017
Well all good things must finally come to an end, and Jack’s bar mitzvah was one of those good things that closed out my 2017. What a great way to end the year. We had a fantastic three generational rehearsal a few days earlier and then all friends and family gathered for the bar mitzvah ceremony and brunch on the 17th. Jack is just an awesome kid who has now become a man. The synagogue, Beth David Synagogue is such a super-cool space to photograph. It is bright and large an offers ample opportunity for creativity. Fern Cohen, party planner extraordinaire, tied the luncheon together beautifully. The speeches were funny, the atmosphere was warm, the music was ‘live’, and it was, in a word… amazing. Thanks for such a nice year-end, you guys were great.

•Advice for Future Mitzvahs: The morning of the event, take a deep breath, know that you’ve done everything you could have to make the event special, and relinquish control to those you hired and entrusted with your event. Worry about nothing – go and enjoy your simcha! Not everything will be perfect – but likely only you will know!
