We went to Jacob's Bar Mitzvah last Saturday, invited by his mum Patricia. I didn't take any photos, but it was a beautiful service (is it a service?) followed by a delicious meal in great company.
It was my first Bar Mitzvah. I hadn't realised the building would be so beautiful inside, or that the service (?) would be almost entirely sung, or that the Torah was written backwards, or that the 'real' Torah that they read from is a roll of paper on wooden spindles.
Just goes to show how little I know... but I'm learning.
Congratulations Jacob, you did a fantastic job.
