Pre-bat mitzvah
As most readers know, Zoe decided to have two bat mitzvahs: one at home and the other at the synagogue where her dad and Pop Pop were bar mitzvah’d and where the girls had their baby naming ceremony. For her DC one she would need to do work from afar, and so every Thursday afternoon for the last 10 months or so, she practiced with the cantor via video chat.
We flew to DC a few days prior to the big event, and on Thursday she was able to practice IRL – with her Pop Pop as the audience.
