Stu, Abe and Jack.
Oct. 11, 2014. We attended services at the temple at 6:00 Friday night. Then about 30 people went to the K house for dinner. I made a large lazagna. Guessing it could weight 10 pounds. Laura ordered grilled and fried chicken and sides from Giant Eagle. Eve was in change of making a wonderful and very large salad. The Bar Mitzvah was Sat. Morning at 10:30. We had professional pictures taken before the service. They are not available yet.
Abe was terrific. He led most of the service. He played his guitar and sang some of the songs. We had both Rabbi Jamie Gibson, Rabbi Ron Symons, and Cantor Sarah Stock Mayo for the service. Jack and I were proud and prouder. There was a buffet lunch after the service. Also good food.
The evening affair was at Funfest. It is a bowling alley with all the trimmings. All the adults were invited and everyone played whatever they wanted. There was an open bar, but very little drinking. A disk jockey. When you arrived there was a large table with appetizers. Later in the evening a buffet dinner was served. Chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers. Sweet and regular fried and all the salads. A large platter of roasted vegetables. Dessert was make you own sundae and cookies. Everyone could help themselves to the candy bar. The candy came from Jon Prince and his McKeesport Candy Co. The kids picked out all the candy. It was great fun. I saw Rosa leaving with a large box of chocolate covered pretzels. Sunday morning we had a brunch at our house. A lot of good foods and a finale to the weekend.
Here is Abe conducting the service at CDS in honor of his upcoming Bar Mitzvah. The boys have to wear Tafillem after they have a BM. Abe is wearing ones I found that belonged to one of his great or great great grandfathers.
Mollie, Laura, and Jack went shopping to find "the outfit "for the BM. We had fun at Edna Galito's store, Cappricio. Mollie even got paid $3 for all the help she gave. The suit is black and gray. Does not show in the picture.
