Olivia’s Bat Mitzvah: September 11, 2022 (Village Loft Restaurant)

Well this day started out perfectly, a beautiful late summer morning at the Village Loft Restaurant for Olivia’s Bat Mitzvah. I met the family in the parking lot took Olivia for a little photo shoot around ‘town’, she was fantastic, just doing her thing for the camera. Her sister joined us and the two of them, the little darlings, we’re a perfect pair. Add some parents, some grandparents, some cousins, and you have the full gang. Once family photos were over, we headed in to the ceremony with Rabbi Yossi Sapirman attending to duties. Yossi always has a fantastic and warm ceremony, and today was not to disappoint. Olivia read beautifully from the Torah, and made everyone was proud. Candy was thrown with gusto, specifically by the male cousins, I can attest to that. A delicious lunch followed, lovely speeches were delivered, and general fun abounded. Mazel Tov Olivia, it was a very special day.
