Aliyah's Bat Mitzvah!

I met with Aliyah and her family at the synagogue for some posed formal portraits.  The temple is beautiful, with honey colored woods and really cool angles.  Aliyah and her sister read Torah for us and it was an honor to be part of such an ancient and sacred tradition.  The bat mitzvah is a closed ceremony so I won't see her again until the big party Saturday night!  Happy birthday and congratulations Aliyah!  You're going to be AMAZING!
