ABOVE: HAVI'S VIDEO MONTAGE on YouTube. We were asked to create a 9-10 video montage. Havi's mom, Leslie, sent us the photographs and a list of music that she wanted to have played. George and I edited the video montage to these four songs: 1) "Baby Girl" by Will Hoge 2) "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars 3) "Hall of Fame" (feat. Will.i.am) by The Script 4) "Happy" by Pharrell Williams

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths,
but the final forming of a person's characteter
lies in their own hands."

Bat Mitzvah:
Bat Mitzvah means "daughter of commandment" and refers
to the religious ceremony that signifies a Jewish girl (at the age of 12 or 13) coming of age religiously. According to the Jewish tradition, a girl who has become a bat mitzvah is accorded the same rights as an adult and is morally and ethically responsible for her decisions and actions.
"May these quiet moments of Shabbat
open our hearts and minds;
may we savor the blessings of family,
centering our souls on the love for one another.
May we be blessed with strength and perseverance;
and the enlightenment
to see that we can make a difference in creating a better world."
-Abraham Joshua Heschel
(Above: Leslie's mom, Havi's grandmother saying
a few words during the ceremony.)
Kippah:
A kippah is a small head covering traditionally worn by men as a symbol of respect for God. The kippas for Haviva's Bat Mitzvah were knitted by Haviva's aunt, Enid Robbins.
"There is a voice inside of you that whispers all day long,
I feel this is right for me, I know that this is wrong,
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend or wise person can decide
What's right for you-just listen to the voice that speaks inside."
-Shel Silverstein
(Above: A very, very proud mother.)
The Torah is Passed from Generation to Generation

From Grandparents, Herb, Joanne, Rachel & Gil

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own.
And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...."
-Dr. Seuss
"Blessed is the generation in which the old listen to the young,
and the doubly blessed is the generation
in which the young listen to the old."
-The Talmud

Raya was Havi's Hebrew School teacher and tutored Havi
for her Bat Mitzvah.

Everyone was laughing real hard.)

a little help to wipe away the tears from her eyes by the kind
and wonderful Rabbi.)
Blessing over the Havdalah Candle
We light this Havdallah candle which is made of intertwined
strands and acknowledge that all nations, people, and religions
are also intertwined. May the light of this Havdallah candle
enable us to see that the earth is not burning, but for building.
Sha-vu-a-tov!!
Shavua Tov (shah-VOO-ah TOHV)
Hebrew. Literally, good week. This greeting is used after Havdalah (the ceremony marking the conclusion
of Shabbat), to wish someone a good forthcoming week.
(Above: Terry the DJ and team were awesome.)
(Above: "H" for Havilicious!!)
(Above: Remember Pop Rocks?
Instead of a salted margarita glass, why not
a Pop Rock rimmed Shirley Temple? Yes, please!!
(Above: Great job Nanc for the exceptional and detailed
event planning!! xoxo)
