Jason nervously practicing his prayer before his big moment.

Incredible turnout for Jason's Bar Mitzvah!

WE actually discovered when we got there today was National Bar Mitzvah day for kids injured by terrorist attacks.  There were dozens and dozens of ceremonies going on, which was so beautiful to see.

Putting on his Tallit, which we had just picked out in the Cardo for him

Naomi and Katie were so awesome to come and celebrate with us!

This is the sign showing that today is a special day for B'nai Mitzvah's

Wrapping Teffilin since it's not Shabbat

AND, he's still wrapping!

The prayer book

Not sure why Jason's so happy, since he hasn't done his prayer yet!

Carrying the Torah to the Bimah so they can read from it

They join with a 13 year old, so they will have a minyan

It was so cute to see Jason and this young boy side by side having Bar Mitzvah's together!

The big moment is almost upon him to show off his Barchu skills!

Check out the video to hear him sing the prayers perfectly!

Who would have guessed it was all English on the paper, with notes showing JAson how to sing the song.

I think he looks so handsome with a kippah on!

Awwww, Bar Mitzvah Boy!

I'm on the women's side.

All the other pictures up close at the wall on the men's side were taken by other people, since women and men are separated.

Eating some yummy food to celebrate Jason being a man!

Good food, good wine, great company!
