We are so proud of Amy for becoming a Bat Mitzvah on March 25, 2012. Amy studied Esther and Root and delivered an amazing D’var. Here is a complete transcript of Amy’s speech – “Turning Points.”

The kids (and adults too) had a lot of fun in the photo booth. Here’s a photo gallery compiled from some of the photo booth images:

For school break this January, we traveled to Florida for a week. We attended cousin Lori’s Bat Mitzvah in Boca Raton and to visit Paul and Susan. Brynn and Amy even went riding with their Aunt Susan. We also took a 2-day cruise to the Bahamas right from Palm Beach. We had phenomenal weather this year. It was 80 degrees all week and actually a bit cooler in the Bahamas.

Here’s a walk down memory lane courtesy of Judy Lekach. This family portrait was done for the Congregation Brothers of Israel yearbook put out when the shul moved from Long Branch to Elberon. Can you recognize Jon? Don’t you just love the lapels on the suit? How about the shirt?
