A beautiful Bar Mitzvah was celebrated in shul this past shabbos. Great family, great kid, great laining, great food. One additional advantage--the kids' area (the "stage" at the east end of the kiddush room) was curtained off.
This was terrific! Fran and the kids had a partitioned area to play in. Wouldn't it be nice to have it like that every shabbos? There have been plans to build a wall to separate the play area for a year now--what's going on? It took nine months to build a new house near me...and it's taking a year for the shul just to figure out how to build a wall?
