| We found Rabbi Sugarman's website on-line and were delighted with the Bat Mitzvah service he could provide us. Rabbi Sugarman stayed in frequent touch with us during the months before the service. He communicated with Fritzi's Hebrew tutor to make sure that Fritzi was totally prepared and comfortable with all the prayers, songs and speeches involved. Being Jewish myself, but having no Jewish education as a child, I was happy to have Rabbi Sugarman help me prepare for the service as the Bat Mitzvah's mother. He came to our home the day before the service, letting Fritzi see the Torah she would read from and saying a blessing for me as I was given a Hebrew name for the first time. The service was held under tents at our home with one hundred and twenty-five people in attendance. A violent thunderstorm with pouring rain added drama to the Torah reading, but Rabbi Sugarman put everyone at ease as he tied the current conditions into the history of the portion of the Torah that Fritzi read. Rabbi Sugarman's guitar and singing were a wonderful addition, and he had everyone clapping and singing joyously. Many of our Jewish and Christian friends and family commented afterwards on how meaningful and moving the Bat Mitzvah service was. Rabbi Sugarman brought more than the Torah to our home. He brought meaning and significance of the occasion to everyone, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Jenny Ornsteen James . - Jenny |
