I love this story, people in their golden years getting to celebrate their passage into adulthood, even if it’s into “late” adulthood.

I’m a big believer in milestones and rituals. I feel they’re more than a part of our culture, they’re a part of our DNA. They help tell the story of who we are as human, and any time we can tell that story, we connect to others on a whole different level.
I love this quote:
“…those who go through a bar or bat mitzvah later in life describe it as an incredibly spiritual experience, and one that can transport them back to a different time.”
So mazel tov to you, older guys and gals, and I’d love some pictures for the site!
