Micah's bar mitzvah was held recently at Congregation Beth Shalom in Seattle. Micah was calm and confident and gave an amazing speech. I was impressed by his family--they all participated in the service. It was a Thursday, so I was able to photograph Micah putting on tefillin for the first time in addition to being called up to the Torah. He went on to do so again on Shabbat, and then everyone celebrated at a lively party in Sodo on Saturday night, highlighted by a Havdala service, singing and dancing. Very nice simcha!
