Elayna’s Bat Mitzvah: December 7, 2023
Elayna’s Bat Mitzvah was a true three day affair, we started off with an immediate family rehearsal, then into the ceremony, and finally to a party at York Mills Gallery. Where to start. Rehearsal with the family is always special. This time of year things are a little chilly but we still managed to pull off a special photography photo shoot outside Beth Emeth. I took Elayna for a little walk around, before adding in her sibling [who is a seasoned pro from the last mitzvah] and her parents. We eventually made our way into the synagogue where the Torah was waiting for us. I love Beth Emeth, the stained glass is the best in the city. Fast forward to the ceremony on a Thursday morning, everyone was in great shape to celebrate. A warm and inviting ceremony followed by a delicious lunch. Sunday was, the proverbial cerasus super, set aside as the for an amazing party at the York Mills Gallery. I love this venue, places to photograph outside while the party is very happy to stay indoors this time of year. Sole Power had the music and DJ dialed in, while the delightful Heidi Gruenspan brought this event together beautifully. After many days, much dancing, speeches, hora, delicious food, and a fantastic party, it was time to call it quits and to put this mitzvah away. Mazel Tov, guys, way to go.
