Yael and I snuck outside for a little stroll\u2014no blooms yet, but plenty of good vibes. Then we rounded up the brothers and reunited with the extended family indoors.\u00a0\u00a0The party? Joy. Music, games, limbo, tug of war, the whole bat mitzvah buffet of fun. Add in some lovely friends, heartfelt speeches, a top-tier slideshow, and a glowing candle-lighting ceremony\u2026 It was the perfect finale to the family\u2019s mitzvah trilogy.\u00a0\u00a0Mazel tov, guys.
