Not sure if you saw this story in the NY Times:
Having a Bat Mitzvah in Their 90s Because It’s a Hoot
But its really an inspiring story about women who never had the chance to have a Bat Mitzvah because it wasn’t done back when they were of age, finally having their chance.
In the story, Rabbi Howard Kutner researched old calendars to find the portions they would have read if they were boys. The women studied their Torah portions and recited them in a service in the sanctuary in their community center, Menorah Park in Beechwood, Ohio.
What a great thing and what a mitzvah for Rabbi Kutner to have helped make this happen.
We are trying to connect with Rabbi Kutner to see if we can create MitzvahArt for them so if anyone knows them please let us know.
Imagine how these women must have felt last weekend fulfilling what must have been a lifelong desire.
By the way,we can create a MitzvahArt for someone whose Bar or Bat Mitzvah was a while ago. I recently had someone contact us about a 70th birthday present….
