Coming of age
My daughter became a bat mitzva last week, and while I resisted the temptation to kvell here, I received the following note from a friend and could no longer hold back:
K____’s bat mitzvah was wonderful as is she and I hope you’ve glowed all week. She did a wonderful job and it was nice to know that on the 70th anniversary of Kristalnacht, there were 65 Jewish 12-year-olds dancing their hearts out to celebrate her bat mitzvah (and she chanted Torah beautifully I might add and that would also have not been in the cards 70 years ago).

K’s Bat Mitzvah was,indeed, a wonderful affair and ranks right up there in the top 3 Carroll events. When I compare her performance with my Bar Mitzvah 50 years ago I realize that I, apparently, am a Baptist.
