Bar Mitzvah of Ari Diamond
Saturday, June 2 | 10:00am
Lifecycle events are very important, not only for the individual, but for our Community as a whole. Please plan to attend and celebrate the Bar Mitzvah of Ari Diamond, son of Cathy and Josh Diamond, on Saturday, June 2, beginning at 10:00am. The sevice will be followed by a Kiddush lunch.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Whenever there is a Bat or Bar Mitzvah, please know that everyone is welcome to attend the service and stay for the Kiddush afterwards. Temple Sinai views these lifecycle events as a simcha that should be shared by the whole community. Families understand this and are happy to have congregants celebrate with them.
