Mazel tov to Isaac and his family. Isaac had a very moving service, with our friend and his Rabbi Neal Gold. It was another witnessing of a family so involved in their synagogue, that the Rabbi spoke in an intimate way to the Bar Mitvah. And in most cases, parents have a few words for the Bar Mitzvah; in this case when your mother is a cantor, those dreams and wishes for your get sung to you. It was beautiful.
Isaac's Bar Mitzvah was originally planned for Israel, but when plans changed, the family decided to bring Israel to the guests by planting trees in our honor. It was a very special gesture. The kiddush lunch was a perfect following to the services.

Tali's Bat Mitzvah was at the same time as Isaac's, but you had the chance to attend her party in the evening at the MIT Faculty Club. It was fun and festive, but tiring after a long week in Washington DC.
