You know, I grew up in a society where bar mitzvahs were a dime a dozen (or rather a million dimes a dozen); where they were taken for granted because everyone did them and everyone did the same things. As a response, I tried to make it meaningful and special for my own kids, and I think we were all pretty successful in that. But your son's story is extraordinary and something that will truly stay in his heart forever. A real man-making experience. You are justifiably proud as, I'm sure he is. Thank you so much for sharing it all with us! xoSue Guineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556228394020314560noreply@blogger.com
