Alexandra's Name in Lights

Well, the weekends are getting more and more packed now that event season is underway. Warmer weather brings people together for all kinds of celebrations - parties, graduations, weddings, reunions - and this past weekend I was able to attend the Bat Mitzvah of lovely Alexandra.

Alex's father is Israeli by way of Spain, and has spent many years in Europe. As a result he's fluent in several languages, and gave a speech in English, Hebrew, Spanish, and French. Alex herself mixed Sephardic and Ashkenazi traditions in her ceremony at Temple Emanuel in Woodcliff Lake.


It was certainly a global celebration. The Venetian in Garfield rivaled the U.N. that evening - citizens of 40 different countries were in attendance.

I am certain that this young lady will soon make her own mark on the world - congratulations, Alexandra!
