Hi Everybody,

   Yesterday I went to my friend Max's Bar Mitzvah. A Bar Mitzvah is a Jewish ceremony of growing up. When a boy or girl turns 13, they officially start adulthood. For the Jewish religion a Bar Mitzvah is as important as a wedding! It is a HUGE ceremony that lasted 6 hours. The first half was in a really big temple, 200 people were there to watch. He invited around 50 of his classmates, and lots of people from out of school. Also, there was alot of adults, and his whole family was there (Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Sister, Parents). It was a really big deal. He spent a whole year studying the Torrah (the jewish bible) and reading all five books! At the temple he read from the Torrah, recited special thanks to his family, sang songs in Hebrew (the Jewish language). That part of the ceremony lasted 2 hours. Then everyone took a big bus to the Hyatt Hotel. There was a ball room for eating and dancing. They played a slideshow of Max's pictures growing up, and some videos too. Then everyone stood in a circle around him and he was raised on a chair and lifted up 13 times while we danced in a circle around him. There was a buffet and everyone ate alot. Then there was 3 hours of dancing. I'm really glad I got to go and learn about the Jewish Culture.

Write again soon,
