Bar Mitzvah at The Kotel

Admittedly, I haven't been to any recent Bar Mitzvah at the kotel.  I think that the last one was long enough ago, so the Bar Mitzvah boy is now a senior in high school, and it was before I bought a digital camera. 

There weren't any of these umbrellas the last time I checked.  By the time we finished, before 10am, it didn't shade us. That's why my cousin and I wore hats.

My female relatives couldn't get over how pushy people were.  We had to guard our chair and spot at the mechitza with our lives. 

I'm just so happy that they came to Israel for the Bar Mitzvah.
