A few months ago, I got a call to shoot something I’d never done before…a Bat Mitzvah. I originally thought I was booked for the date requested (which is why I shouldn’t try to arrange bookings while I’m in the car) but it turned out I wasn’t and Mrs K. sounded so nice on the phone that I was totally excited that I was available. I warned her that I knew nothing about Bat Mitzvahs and she promised me that she would clue me in along the way.
Cameras aren’t allowed at the actual Bat Mitzvah ceremony so I met the K Family at Mount Zion Temple in St. Paul on Friday morning for the rehearsal. We did a few family portraits beforehand and then went inside to the Sanctuary where I got to witness some lengthy reading in Hebrew from the Torah done by the lovely Miss N. Of course, I couldn’t understand any of it but it was very impressive to hear and I’m glad I got to experience something new!
Really, how cute are these girls?
