Nate’s Bar Mitzvah: October 23, 2025<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, here I am, back at Congregation Habonim<\/strong><\/a><\/span> for Nate\u2019s Bar Mitzvah. A crisp fall day in Toronto, the kind where the leaves are turning, the air bites just a little, and it\u2019s still dark when you wake up… but it\u2019s a bright and celebratory day for young Nate.\u00a0 Not too chilly this time, which was a pleasant surprise; in past years I\u2019ve been bundled up like I\u2019m shooting in the Arctic, but today was perfectly manageable.\u00a0 We met at the synagogue and got right into portraits in and around Habonim.\u00a0 I started with Nate, then brought in the rest of the family, and finally we gathered the extended family; grandparents, and cousins in the alcove out back before the ceremony began. Nate was fantastic, he read from the Torah beautifully and sang more of the service than I usually hear.\u00a0 Quite the proud moment, I must say.\u00a0 A fantastic lunch followed, apparently Nate\u2019s dad knows someone who knows someone who knows someone, and they really delivered. Mazel Tov, guys, what a wonderful morning.<\/p>\n
