Even during a pandemic, her Bat Mitzvah at <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #993366;\"><strong>Beth Torah Synagogue<\/strong><\/span>, turned out to be such a spectacular event. There was an outpouring of love and affection from relatives, friends and people as far away as Israel, California, Cincinnati, Florida, New York, and Nova Scotia. The people in the synagogue in person were: Aliyah, Rhonda, Michael, Aunt Katleen, Bubie Rosalie and Zaida Ray, and Aliyah\u2019s good friend Sasha, along with the Rabbinet, Cantor and videographer. A video of Aliyah\u2019s Uncle Darren reciting a moving prayer for Israel was inserted in the slide show. Another 150 people were watching Live Stream. Everyone said they were so thrilled to be a part of it. We featured a heartfelt slide show with music before (and after) the bat mitzvah showing Aliyah growing up (right from her baby naming to the present day) surrounded by loving family and friends. The silk flowers on the beama were donated to a charity for children on the autistic spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>Aliyah spoke so beautifully, and recited her parcha with grace, musical singing and beautiful tone. Her D&#8217;var Torah was very meaningful, which many people commented on, connecting themes of biblical times to today&#8217;s world. We had an impromptu drive by at our house after the event and almost 70 people came by to show their love and affection to Aliyah. It was quite a scene on the front lawn of our house, complete with purple and green balloons! We handed out gift bags to all. Pretty, bright green bags with pink tissue paper were filled with Kosher chocolate, an essential oil candle in a glass jar, special teas, candies, and a silk kippah. The rest of the people (in Toronto) who couldn\u2019t be there, received their gift bags by personal delivery by family members, including Bubie Rosalie, Zaida Ray, Rhonda and Aliyah! Mazel Tov, Aliyah.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Story of Aliyah&#8217;s Bat Mitzvah: Selected Photos <a href=\"https:\/\/jonnisuper.zenfolio.com\/p220426765\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #993366;\">HERE<\/span><\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>All the Photos:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jonnisuper.zenfolio.com\/f695874700\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #993366;\">HERE<\/span><\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Clothing (Mitzvah): <span style=\"color: #993366;\">The Original<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Mauve silk keepah&#8217;s &amp; silk talit: <span style=\"color: #993366;\">from Israel\u2019s<\/span>\u2028\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Photographer: <span style=\"color: #993366;\">Jonni Super Photography<\/span>\u2002\u2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Videographer: <span style=\"color: #993366;\">John Darmody &#8211; Live Media<\/span>\u2002\u2028\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Venue: <span style=\"color: #993366;\">Beth Torah Congregation<\/span>\u2028\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Caterer: <span style=\"color: #993366;\">Two13 Kosher Catering\/Catered lunch<\/span> \u2028\u2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2028\u2022Rabbi: <span style=\"color: #993366;\">Dr. Rabbanit Rachael Turkienicz<\/span>\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Cantor: <span style=\"color: #993366;\">David Edward<\/span>\u2028\u2002\u2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Teachers: <span style=\"color: #993366;\">Aviva Chernik and Moshe Saadan<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aliyah\u2019s Bat Mitzvah: June 6, 2021 Photographed by Justine Aliyah&#8217;s Bat Mitzvah (which was due to happen June 20th, 2020,) finally was slated June 6th, 2021.
