Today (well, yesterday) she is a woman

Ariel did a wonderful job yesterday at her Bat Mitzvah. She accomplished her torah reading and Haftarah reading with panache, and did a superb and animated job with her speech as well. After that the assemblage, approximately seventy strong, adjourned to the reception hall where attendees danced from everything from traditional circle dances to “Time Warp.” Friends and notables from this board who attended included Elayne and Robin Riggs, Bob and Deb Greenberger, Glenn and Brandy Hauman, Mike and Joan Friedman, John and Nan Peel, Steve and Dana Saffel, and many others.

Woodbury Catering handled the food and Albert Lee Music oversaw the DJ’ing, so if anyone in the Long Island area is looking to cater or provide music for a function, I can’t recommend those stalwarts highly enough.

It was great watching her having such fun with friends and family. She certainly worked hard enough for it and deserved her celebration. And by the way, she read the previous thread and extends her thanks to all who offered their congratulations.
