Bat mitzvah!
A few photos – and a video – from Zoe’s big day. We didn’t get as many photos from that day as I had hoped, but there’s always next year! And I have plenty of strong and happy memories from what we’re calling her East Coast bat mitzvah: of family filtering in to the service that morning with big smiles, of Zoe confidently reciting her portions and ending her speech with a cheerful “Shabbat Shalom!”, of Avery and Isaac holding hands in service and carefully preparing the candies that were thrown at Zoe after she read from the Torah, and of everyone dancing and celebrating at the party Pop Pop and Safta threw later that evening. What a day…
