Moshe Bar Mitzvah Photographs

DESCRIPTION

Moshe's 2010 Bar Mitzvah is an opportunity for the extended family to meet and celebrate a significant milestone. Norman's brothers Jerry and Paul come from thousands of miles, as does his sister Eileen and Robbie Steingold.

Moshe attends a military academy in Carlsbad north of San Diego. Blossom comes from Los Angeles in Adam's pickup truck, with Moshe riding in the "kiddie seat" behind her.

Moshe's sisters and their husbands come, except for Elizabeth who lives in far-off Alabama. His brothers Aaron and Daniel will enjoy the limelight soon enough...

Three official events are realized -

Friday evening services;
Saturday morning services followed by a buffet lunch.
Dinner hosted by Dale at Roy's of Spanish Bay.

Dana creates a Fall-theme in the synagogue's sanctuary with a bevy of incredibly varied squashes and gourds - so recognizing the festival of Sukkot which continues through the weekend.

Robbie is thrilled to have played a round of golf at Pebble Beach - a privilege made possible only by Dale's "connections".
