So much to be grateful for. . .
|
The big day is almost here! Gideon has been studying for almost a full year for his Bar Mitzvah. This is a wonderful milestone for a Jewish child. In fact, after his Bar Mitzvah, he will be considered an adult in the Jewish Community.
We hope you can join us for any or all of the events we have planned that day. (We invite out of town guests to join us for Shabbat blessings and a casual dinner at Mountain Lake Lodge Friday evening. Please let us know on the survey below if you would like to join us. We would love to see you anytime between 5-6 pm.) |
Gideon has had the honor and privilege of working with Ester Hallerman for private Hebrew lessons prior to his Bar Mitzvah. She has welcomed Gideon into her home weekly, taken him to services when we could not, encouraged him and offered opportunities to lead prayers at services. In short, she is amazing.
Gideon has attended the Blacksburg Jewish Community Center Sunday School since 2009. We are so grateful for all the teachers, students, and families at the BJCC that have made our Jewish life in Blacksburg rich and joyful. We are so grateful for our extended family that has enriched our Jewish holidays, have welcomed our customs into their homes, and we look forward to sharing this mitzvah with all of you. |
