It'll be light blogging for me this weekend because it's our son's bar mitzvah. He's a seriously religious boy, um, man and this is a much more meaningful event than it was for me. At my bar mitzvah at our reform temple, I basically read a couple of lines of Torah and then announced I was accepting gifts. At the old-school orthodox shul my wife and son attend, he is entering the adult embrace of the community through observance and scholarship. I couldn't be prouder of him. Halley blogs about a different passage into adulthood: finding out that Santa isn't. Posted

Mazel Tov! A Bar Mitzvah on Hannukah is particularly special since it is a holiday of rededication and miracles... and there is a certain miraculous quality to raising children to the age of 13. Much nachas to you and your family.

David: Mazel Tov and Yasher Koach to your son. Happy Chanukah and Gut Yontiff to all!
See, you don't have to love Levi's to be Jewish, or did I get that backwards? Do you remember that rye (wry?) bread ad campaign from long ago?

Mazel Tov! My best wishes to you and your family as your son leaves boyhood behind to become a man.

Uauau... mazal tov. About my own bar mitzva I just can remember the gifts (and the party) I got. But, for sure, my daughter is looking forward about her bat differently... each one is each one.... each thing is each thing... and like that we live. Hope that the Torah could enlight your sun... the best!!!

Our son is having his Bar Mitzvah and I wanted to have some extra special Bar Mitzvah invitations to send to my family and friends, but I didn’t have time to search all over town. Luckily, I found four excellent sites while searching the Internet, http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/Bar_Mitzvah_Bat_Mitzvah_Invitations_Cards/productsList-20-1.htm,
http://www.cardspersonalized.com,
http://www.express-invitations.com/religious_invitations_announcements_cards/Religious-Invitations-Announcements-Cards.php and
http://www.cardsshoppe.com/Religious_Invitations_Announcements/Religious_Invitations_Announcements_Cards-4-1.htm
Although it was a difficult choice, I ordered from http://www.announcements-shoppe.com and could not have been more pleased. The personalized Bar Mitzvah invitations are simply fabulous!! Everyone just loved them, and I will certainly order from them again in the future.
