Ethan’s Bar Mitzvah: April 7, 2024
I love photographing a bar mitzvah that are near and dear to my… house. (You thought I was going to say ‘heart’). Downtown mitzvah’s are the best, and this one was around the corner from my place in Yorkville at Morton’s Steakhouse. What a nice change for a change. I took Ethan out and we strolled around Yorkville for a bit, invited in the immediate family in for some photos, before setting up camp and photographing all the extended family. Cantor Ben Silverberg was waiting upstairs Morton’ for Ethan to do a quick rehearsal. We caught that action before starting a delightful ceremony. Ethan was great, spoke eloquently, said his portion passionately, made us all proud. We wrapped up the evening with a little schmoozing. The family settled in for dinner, and I was done. Way to go, guys. Mazel tov.
