Jonathan’s Bar Mitzvah: Sept 13, 2018 (Kehila Centre)

by Jonni Super· September 21, 2018· in Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah· 0 comments
Jonathan’s Bar Mitzvah: Sept 13, 2018 I was back in the Kehila Centre with this wonderful Argentinian family for Jonathan’s bar mitzvah last Thursday morning. What a fantastic day to photograph both inside and outside this synagogue. The Kehila Centre is such a large and inviting synagogue, beautiful from any direction. Jonathan was great, beaming from ear to ear while standing on the bimmah, reciting his portion, while his mom looked down from the balcony. What started out as a lovely ceremony, ended in the garden outside for some family photos. It was a wonderful way to spend a Thursday morning before heading into Sunday… …OK, let’s discuss Sunday, we were back at the Kehila Centre where these Argentinians really know how to party. We’re talking about dancing around crazy with arms waving in the air, people being thrown around just like you would see in a dance movie, the hora involved four people on chairs at the same time; just insanity from start to finish. Lucas from PURE Entertainment emceed this affair, as only he could (being Argentinian and all); Great party, fun people, amazing energy!

Jordan’s Bar Mitzvah: September 1, 2018 Jordan’s is one cool dude, just look at him dressed in them sweet threads, coy smile, styled hair, he does look pretty good.  His bar mitzvah week (both family photoshoot and ceremony/lunch) was a fun way to start the season.  We all met in Cedarvale Park earlier in the week and concluded at Le Parc on Saturday morning for the ceremony. Rabbi Mel presiding over festivities and held it together nicely.  (I forgot how mellifluous Mel’s voice is, I have not seen him over the summer.)  Back to Jordan… he was out of the gate and delivered his portion with grace and confidence.  On a side note, this was the largest basket of candy thrown at a bar mitzvah boy in living memory. Lunch was delicious, as his sister Ashleigh held down the MC duties delightfully.  And now y’all, back to school.  Mazel Tov!!   Selected Photos from the Mitzvah: HERE Selected Photos from the Park: HERE All the Photos: HERE   •Clothing (Mitzvah): Crawford Boys •Clothing (Mom): Ted Baker •Clothing (Dad): Harry Rosen- Boss •Decor: Pam Segal •Invitations: Write Invite •Makeup: Danielle- Sephora •Hair: Mosaic- Kim •Guitarist: Rob Bienstock •Photographer: Jonni Super •Venue: Le Parc •Caterer: Le […]

Dylan’s Bar Mitzvah: Aug 27, 2018 Dylan’s bar mitzvah was quite the event, taking place in the spectacular garden of his home overlooking Cedarvale Ravine.  The morning rain gave way to a stellar albeit humid afternoon but then it cooled down to a lovely late summer evening. The crowd was ready for a party, even on this Monday night and this mitzvah delivered… and then some. Dylan was all in, we managed a photo shoot with the brothers, parents, and grandparents before everyone arrived and this garden was one easy place to photograph.  We were treated to a special outdoor service by Rabbi Gantz from the Village Shul, followed by an delicious meal.  By the time the clock struck 9, everyone was dancing up a storm treating this Monday as if it was a Saturday night.  Good times, Mazel Tov.   The Story of Dylan’s Bar Mitzvah: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos HERE   •Rabbi: Rabbi Ganz – The Village Shul •Photography: Jonni Super •Food: Toben – Meg Levinson •Hair: Audrey Stephens •Makeup: Maureen Greenstein •Music: Scaroake Entertainment DJ Jackie •Rentals: Chairman Mills

Maya’s Bat Mitzvah: May 6, 2018 Maya’s bat mitzvah was a beautiful celebration of a young woman approaching adult hood. We started with some family photos outside The Warehouse in Downsview Park, and then it was just party all night. Magen Boys as usual raised the roof, there were drummers, there was a guy on stilts, there was just a whole bunch of stuff to entertain and a maze. Fern Cohen (event planner extraordinaire) brought everything together seamlessly.  Maya was so graceful, the family was loving and kind, and her friends spoke so very highly of her, it was just one fantastic night.

Jason’s Bar Mitzvah: May 12, 2018 I really like this family (maybe the South African connection runs deep), I keep bumping into them at functions, but on this day it was Jason’s turn to be the star.  We had a great photoshoot outside, and then headed in to photograph the extended family.  This lead to a rehearsal photoshoot with Rabbi Erin Polansky before she took the congregation into a wonderful service, and Jason was off to the races.

Seth & Spencer’s Bnei Mitzvah Rehearsal: May 3, 2018 Photographed by BEN Look twin……twins!!!  As a twin myself, I love shooting twins.  And not just any twins.  Two super cool, long crazy haired rock star twins!!  Seth and Spencer were awesome and were totally up for some photography fun.  They also knew exactly when to dial it back during the formal family portraits which made my job that much easier.  Can’t wait for their metal album to come out and top the charts.  Mazel Tov, guys.   Seth & Spencer’s Mitzvah Rehearsal: Selected Photos HERE All the Photos are HERE

Lewis’ Bar Mitzvah Rehearsal: May 9, 2018 This was my second time around with this wonderful family, I photograph them one year ago at Joey’s bat mitzvah and I’ve been looking forward to seeing them again. We had a wonderful rehearsal at the City Shul on Bloor Street on a beautiful May afternoon. What a fantastic day to shoot outdoors. Lewis was of course in fine form, as was the rest of the family. I’m sure the Saturday morning was spectacular, and I’m pleased to have spent the afternoon in preparation for the big day.
