We’re so grateful that you’ll be joining us for this special moment where Zev will do something he’s spent months preparing for. A bar mitzvah is a rite of passage in our son’s life – he turns 13 and is now counted as an adult in the community.

It means a lot to have friends and family who have been an important part of Zev’s life, who can share the moment with us. We wanted to send you this simple guide so you know what to expect in this orthodox shul (Yiddish for ‘synagogue’), and so that you will feel completely comfortable.
