we have the opportunity to express our belief in G-D,and by doing so ,to go to Gan Eden. Mazal Tov to the lucky Bar Mizvah elderly .
2. Wonderful Article
Ezra ,   San Diego USA   (11.18.12)
I love this article, having relatives who went through the war, and some survived it. Just the fact that someone older realizes the importance of HaShem, is a testament to our truth.
3. Can't read 1&2?

None of the "Bar Mitzvah boys" in the article said anything about God or the importance of him. They all said it was about being part of the community. And for many of us, that community is THE thing, not some OT God.

5. Overwhelming
Joseph ,   London England   (11.23.12)
A wonderful article. I hope the 'Bar Mitzva boys' were close enough to the mechitza for the ladies to feel fully apart of the celebration. I've never been keen on Bar Mitzvah at the kosel because of the type of mechitza. Our traditional shuls have a ladies gallery and a raised bimah in the centre so the women feel fully part of what's happening.
