LIzzy’s was a three chapter day. Family portraits at Congregation Rodeph Sholom on the Upper West Side, a sky-high luncheon over the Museum of Arts & Design at Robert Restaurant and the pièce de résistance, a sweet evening of skating at Chelsea Pier.

Sometimes there’s so much love, so much joy, so much that’s good and right, that I just can’t stop smiling the entire day and night — from Zoe’s morning service at the Brooklyn Heights Synagogue to the afternoon at 26 Bridge, there was no question about the support and community that was to buoy her into her next stage of life. Mazel tov, Zoe!

For Sammy B, Services were family-only, but the celebration was big and joyful, with not only a baseball theme (designed by the talented crew at Alexandra Partow Events), but a full-on casino too!

Abby’s celebration kicked off with the Taylor Swift tour and came back to earth at the Brooklyn Heights Synagogue.

Services were followed by a luncheon in the upstair space and as stellar as always, Alexandra Partow Events knocked it out of the park with the sweetest of details — 

From the Brooklyn Heights Synagogue to her super sweet party at 26 bridge in Dumbo, Ellie’s Bat MItzvah was chock-o-block with beauty and love. Plus, her pops had a handlebar moustache — too cool!!

Twin sisters with rock+roll roots celebrate their fabulous Mitzvahs at 26 Bridge Street in Dumbo, Brooklyn complete with a serenade from their pops — in a gorilla suit!

Morning service at Brooklyn Heights Synagogue. 501 Union for the afternoon celebration. Too many beautiful portraits to count.

Morning service at the marvelous Brooklyn Heights Synagogue, afternoon celebration on the Dumbo Rooftop with plenty of environmental family portraits in between.

Sam and his fam had recently located to Chicago, but they came back to NYC to share his Mitzvah with their nearest and dearest. No sleep til Brooklyn!

Ella at 13.

A joy-filled celebration at NYC’s Temple Emanu-El and the Restaurant Opia.

Surrounded by his gorgeous family and friends, Jake’s Mitzvah service was warm and intimate with a fun purple theme - complete with an ombre cake and feather masks. All at the always elegant Wythe in Williamsburg.
