Ellie’s Bat Mitzvah: June 13, 2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Ellie’s Bat Mitzvah was a two part celebration. First came the rehearsal at Temple Kol Ami<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in Thornhill, a synagogue I had not visited in quite some time. It was wonderful to be back in such a warm and welcoming space.\u00a0 <\/span>Ellie was fantastic. She is full of personality, wonderfully sassy, and completely comfortable being herself. We spent the some time wandering around, laughing, and having fun before inviting her parents into the festivities. Giggles were very much the theme of the day.\u00a0 <\/span>After spending some time with the Torah, we headed outside for family photos and more fun. The weather cooperated, everyone was in great spirits, and it made for a beautiful rehearsal session.\u00a0 <\/span>A week later, we reconvened at The Bomond<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for the party. If the rehearsal was any indication of what was to come, we knew we were in for a good time.\u00a0 <\/span>The Bomond is a Russian restaurant and event space. If you’ve ever been to a Russian restaurant, this will feel very familiar. Food arrives at the table and never leaves. The first course ends up beneath the second course, which is beneath the third course, which is beneath the fourth course, and so on. Dinner seemed to follow that exact tradition.\u00a0 There was lots of food, a great MC, a robot, limbo, hora, wonderful speeches, and all the ingredients of a fantastic evening.\u00a0\u00a0Ellie was amazing. Mazel Tov, guys. Way to go.<\/p>\n
