when she became double digit age-the question briefly passed in my mind--shall i pay some synagogue thousands of dollars to teach my daughter stuff of the ritual nature which sometimes even conflict's with G-d's Law--or shall i give said money away to worthy charities and teach her myself of the wealth of knowledge i acquired through a lifetime of study of G-d's Laws - i chose the latter.
she becomes 13 in 4 days--i will bat-mitzvah her before sabbath on friday--on a holiday actually defiant to G-d's Law.--THIS IS NOT THE NEW YEAR---IT'S THE 7TH MONTH--IT'S A MINOR FESTIVAL TO SOUND THE TRUMPET--AND IS CELEBRATED FOR 1 DAY--NOT 2--AND TO GET INTO A SYNAGOGUE FOR IT-YOU MUST BUY TICKETS!! -will Bekah's bat mitzvah bre in a synagogue--i don't think so--it will be in the same dinky room i study the bible in--i'll read and teach her from the bible as i have been--not for a day but for a lifetime--teach her about G-d, what and how it means to be a Hebrew, how to pray--all that's good.--and after sabbath--i will bring her to an all ages club and she will sing with me on stage--in english--as she and i will pray in continually.
happy bat-mitzvah Bek'ah
