Remembering Bar or “Ba” Mitzvahs 50 Years Ago
Among other events in 1968, both the “Cheese Man,” who still participates and contributes mightily to the temple and I celebrated our Bar (my dad said “Ba”) Mitzvahs.
Soon it will be the 50th anniversary of mine and a day shy of a month later, I will join the “Cheese Man” as he and his sister sponsor a celebration of his “Ba” Mitzvah.
I made my parents so proud on that day nearly 50 years ago and as with my other great teachers Rabbi Harry Goder and June Drusin, Rabbi Joseph Wise impacted my life in a great way as he told me I could and I did.
If only…… but on I will go!
