Welcome to our Shabbat morning service and to my Bar Mitzvah!
I would like to thank everyone for attending my Bar Mitzvah, especially my family who came here from all over, including Hawaii and the East coast. Becoming a Bar Mitzvah only happens once in a lifetime and I’m glad you (point at a person), and you (point at a person), and all of you (point all around) could be here to celebrate with me!

I can’t imagine a day has gone by without my parents making sure I was having an amazing day. I would also like to thank them for pushing me to study every single day, so I could become as good as possible. The endless love my whole family has shown has made this whole experience so very
