In April I got to watch and document Sabrina becoming a Bat Mitzvah, and take her first step into the world of Jewish adulthood. I arrived at the Synagogue a little bit early to catch Sabrina before her guests arrived.

We went outside for a minute for a breath of fresh air and to take a quick family photo.

After the ceremony all the kids got on a bus and everyone else jumped in their cars and headed to the party location, where the celebration would begin.
    
hired artist drew caricatures of guests.
  
I brought Sabrina and her friends outside the restaurant for some fun "parent-free" time and everybody got instantly got goofy and fun.
   
The night drew to a close with emotional toasts, candle-lighting and endless smiles from the newly Bat Mitzvah-ed.
   
Mazel Tov Sabrina!
