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!

I think I need to add a new party category.

As someone who dreaded learning her Hebrew for her Bat Mitzvah, I say it’s not fair.  You get the party with none of the pain?!  I’m pissed!!

Please please someone who’s had a faux mitzvah put it up. I will SO put you on the homepage!!!
