Bar Mitzvah

I only enter churches for weddings and I’ve never even been in a synagogue. The night before the bar mitvah, I placed a frantic call to one of the young man’s female relatives for advice on what to wear. Her guidance led me to wear this:


Dress, Isaac Mizrahi for Target. Cardigan, To the Max. Boots, White Mountain. Tights, Target. Watch, Raymond Weil. Earrings, vintage (from swap.)

I was relieved to get to the service and see that I was suitably dressed. Next challenge: finding an appropriate moment during the three hour program to sneak out to the bathroom! I don’t advise drinking two large cups of coffee before such an event.
