Nathan's celebration started early Monday morning with minyan at Temple Aliyah in Needham. Goldie you invited yourself to this early morning prayer to see your good friend Nathan, who's Bar Mitzvah you will be missing while you are in Israel the same week. You have known for months, almost a year, that you wouldn't be here this week, and you and Nathan have been in some sort of denial over the fact. But you made up for it by being by his side for whatever you could be there for.
While you were in Israel, where we originally met Kamran and Dalida 15 years ago, we were in Needham with Rabbi Perkins, who 15 years ago married us in this very spot. Nathan did a fantastic job of chanting Torah and teaching of about the types of sacrifices in the parshah. We were honored with an aliyah during his reading, courtesy of the Rabbi. It was a very special day for all of us; and despite the fact that you weren't physically with us, you were with all of us that day. You and Nathan have a great bond that will carry you for many years to come.
