Indie’s Bat Mitzvah: May 29, 2021
So my beautiful daughter Indie had her bat mitzvah in the backyard of her Boobie’s house on a beautiful Saturday summer afternoon. As with all events COVID, the planning changed back and forth over the months, but finally the big day arrived. Indie looked perfect, new blue dress, great kicks, ready to go. The charming Arlene Moshe was on hand to deliver my daughter into womanhood. We started out on the street, the kids having fun with photographer Justine Apple before heading into the back where the service took place. This was an unusual COVID mitzvah; grandparents and some of Indie’s friends. Too close to camp, we will wait for the cousin lunch on another day. The ceremony was homegrown, some guitar, poetry, and song, all delivered with passion and emotion. Indie had been working on the Beatles’ Blackbird which she played perfectly. Her d’var torah was unseen to us, and predictably poignant and emotive. Some friends speeches, some sibling speeches, some parent speeches, and we were into he home stretch. I personally had to scour the photo archives for appropriate memories of days gone by, the usual ZOOM goodbyes, and it was party time. I took Indie’s girls out for a little photo shoot before delicious dinner, hora, dancing, and a celebration into the night. Mazel Tov, Pin, you were the star tonight.
