Zachary’s bar mitzvah was scheduled for his 13th birthday according to the Jewish calendar and fell on this past Saturday. This was the day we had planned to have his bar mitzvah and he started his preparations for it before everything shut down for the pandemic. Coincidentally, the rabbi he was learning with moved out of town after they started studying together and therefore they had to learn online – and even if he hadn’t moved, that would have happened! For a long time, we didn’t know what would happen with our plans. Could our family come? Would we postpone the bar mitzvah? Would everything be normal again by now?
