Anna's Bat Mitzvah was an experience that eclipsed any possible description of the term beautiful.
Anna was pitch perfect in her performance. She was flawless.
She sang with soul, with conviction, with dexterity, with poise, with confidence, and with love.
She is light personified.

Thanks Mr. Fabulous! Yeah, it was pretty swell.
What a beautiful picture - so peaceful looking! I've never been to a bar or bat mitzvah, but have heard that they are beautiful ceremonies.
Melinda,
Beautiful indeed. A Sabbath service at any temple can be a bit complicated and thorough. To see it led by someone who just turned 13, well, that is a fabulous sight.
That's a marvelous photo, Stu. Congratulations to you and yours. I am very moved by almost all ceremonies of this sort - religious, family, done with feeling from the heart - and no exception here. Good stuff.
Thanks Sully!
I understand your appreciate of such soulful events. You are absolutely that kind of guy.
Y'ar shakoach, Anna. Mazeltov!
Because one comment really just will not do...
Religion can be a hugely stabilizing force in the life of a young person. For those who take it especially seriously, it will help make you into a person with a different outlook on life.
Faith is something that sets a person apart. There are those who can see only with the eyes, whose beliefs have no anchor and who have fear of what they can't explain, which is pretty much everything.
Then there are the faithful. They fear little and are more confident, more stable people.
And you look absolutely angelic in the process.
Congratulations!
