Happy Father’s Day.

This blog is dedicated to all the fathers doing great things to their family every day.  Fathers don’t ask for anything in return.  My hat’s off to fathers and husbands who work all day to bring home food and provide protections.  Fathers give up their dreams and personal satisfactions so their teenager kids can drive convertibles.  Fathers work 2-3 jobs so their kids can buy new iPods.  Fathers rarely get credit for doing amazing jobs.  Some lucky fathers get their credit when their kids become parents themselves.  God bless fathers in the world. 

Back to Bat Mitzvah

Bat Mitzvah is a crazy good time.  Canyon Club, Agoura Hills

Bat Mitzvah celebrates a young girl becoming a teenager (13 years old).  Bat Mitzvah is the holiest event that I know of.  Photography is strictly prohibited during Bat Mitzvah ceremony.  Video is allowed under strict rule.  I had to come to the temple a day before to take pictures of a “Mock Up” ceremony. 

Today’s Bat Mitzvah was all about my young customer who turned 13.  Her Bat Mitzvah was better than most weddings I’ve been into.   They rented out a section of Canyon Club .  It was an amazing event.  The father was providing all the food, services, and vendors.  But he was the most humble person in the entire party. 

They rented out Canyon Club’s Praying Monk Room for reception.  Canyon Club is located in Agoura Hills and is perhaps the hottest spot in Ventura County.  Canyon Club is where all the big names from the 70′s & 80′s come to rock.  REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Arlo Guthry, and countless musicians hold concerts at Canyon Club in Agoura Hills.  Having a Bat Mitzvah party at Canyon Club was way cool.

The father of today’s Bat Mitzvah girl was a real hero. Happy father’s day!
