This Youtube video was posted on the blog horses think. I am about to start editing photographs for a Bar Mitvahs photographer for some extra work and this video is a good introduction into how ‘fun’ those events can be. I would be proud to have a son make a speech like this, although my son wouldn’t be Jewish, so that would be impossible. I don’t know a huge amount about the traditions around Bar Mitzvahs. I did used to work as an assistant to a friends dad who was a videographer specializing in Jewish ceremonies. It generally entailed a lot of carrying of equipment and then sitting in a corner holding an extra microphone for ambient sound. For $150 a day when I was not a Green Card holder, my job as a glorified mic stand was well worth it. Sadly that job ended prematurely and I haven’t been on the scene for over 8 years.
And here are some “Haiku’s for Jews” from this site:
Today I am a man.
Tomorrow I will return
To the seventh grade.
AND
Yenta. Shmeer. Gevalt.
Shlemiel. Shlimazl. Meshuganah
Oy! To be fluent!
