The Bar Mitzvah

Alex is certainly a movie star around here with good reason. His bar mitzvah was really one of the most wonderful events ever. Being there totally beyond made us believe in God more than ever. Certainly all of us present had religious experiences that had nothing to do with faith. It felt like God was in that room, and welcomed all of us. My body and mind were clear beyond anything I’ve ever felt. It was the most beautiful feeling I’ve ever had. Love feels like that, but not on this scale. 


I wish Alex had a bar mitzvah again so I could feel it again. Certainly being not religious particularly had nothing to do with it. Having been there that day was beyond a blessing, no matter what your faith is.  Having that experience changed all of us. For the rest of our lives, we will know that God exists. It was the most profound experience of our lives.
