A Wonderful Tradition

Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah are Jewish coming of age ritual. Bar means son and Bat means daughter in Jewish Hebrew language. This is a very important tradition for the Jewish people since it is a commandment and law. It happens when a boy turns 13, he is accountable for his actions and for the girl at the age of 12 where she will also be accountable for her actions.
Before a child reach Bar or Bat Mitzvah, the parents hold the responsibility for the child's actions. After this, children bear their own responsibility for Jewish ritual law, tradition, and ethics and are able to participate in all areas of Jewish community life. This is pretty amazing!

This is such a lovely and important tradition for Jewish families and communities. Such a lovely occasion will also require a lot of preparations from the program down to every last bit of details in food preparations and decorating the venue. Hiring professional even planners to do the bar mitzvah decor and bat mitzvah decor would be an excellent idea. It would help lighten up the load of preparing for this event since professional event planners would tailor the party to what the family want or like. You also want to choose those who know what they are doing because they have experience doing Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah for several years. Everything from floral designs, event banners and decor will be taken care of. All the family could focus on will be their son or daughter who will be celebrating this beautiful event.

I am in awe of such event and tradition. I wish I could be invited in one someday so I can see how beautiful this tradition is. Seeing someone you know growing and being celebrated as a person is just wonderful.

Berry Picking


I went to pick berries with my mother-in-law and my boys last week. It was very tiring but they had fun. I felt bad they didn't get to really see the animals because I was super tired. The heat made me tired and my pregnancy. I will make it up to them again really soon.

Our church needed some fishman amp at Guitar Center for an upcoming event this Sunday. Some of the church members are going to present songs and plays so hopefully, they will have a good sound system. I love our church, though it's small but that's not what matters. I wish the smaller kids have more activities. It's hard to not have a regular teacher teaching the children how to sing or do a memory verse. Wish it will get better someday.
My youngest son loves Cheerious! I don't know if that's how you spell it but he grabbed the box from the table and made a mess. He then started eating it from the ground and his older brother joined him. Sometimes I want to freak out but I thought maybe I'll just let them enjoy it. Oh well.. they won't stay like this forever. They will grow up someday and I will miss this.
My brother was begging me to leave my husband's guitar to him. He said he will buy it so he can teach his son how to play the guitar. My husband owns the Gibson SG Standard and he loves it as much as my brother loves the guitar. I felt so bad that my husband said no but I have to respect him. Our boys will learn how to play guitar someday. I would love for them to be able to learn to play musical instruments. I never had that opportunity and I want to be able to give it to them.
 

My boys love their doughnuts! This was the gift my husband gave me for Mother's Day, a picture of my boys. I love them so much!
