Eric's Bar Mitzvah was the first Bar Mitzvah I have ever attended. Although my understanding of the readings and the different parts of the ceremony was limited, the fact that I witnessed one of the most important passages in Eric's life was a great priviledge. The ceremony was very solemn, and the speeches given by his parents were heartfelt, beautiful and memorable.

Eric, I wish you all the best in life. I applaud you for your wholeness of heart and for your genuine concern for the world and the people around you. Congratulations on a wonderful celebration, the food was great and the party was so much fun...
