Sofia's Bat Mitzvah!

It seems crazy that I have not blogged since 2015, but Facebook has indeed taken over. It is, however, a special occasion, one that I have been waiting for since I got the amnio results in 2004.

Sofia's Bat Mitzvah!!!

Yes, my girl is 13, and has been working for a long time to prepare for her Bat Mitzvah.

Here are the details you need:

Friday, October 5, 2018: Shabbat services at Temple Israel are at 5:15. If you are traveling from out-of-town and will be up here in time, please join us for Shabbat dinner immediately following services. Please email us at spdrothkopf@gmail.com to RSVP for dinner.

Saturday, October 6, 2018: Service begins at 9:15 am at Temple Israel. The Torah service begins approximately 10:00 am. There will be a congregational luncheon immediately after services (around noon) to which all are invited.
