In keeping up with the Rosen's and the Abelson's,
It is with great stress, emotional and physical fatigue and incredible
financial sacrifice beyond comprehension,
that we invite you to join us as our wonderful son
Jacob Adam
is called to
the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah.
Saturday, May 12th – (yes we realize its Mother's Day Weekend)
Temple Israel
14 Coleytown Road
Westport , Connecticut 06880
at the ungodly hour of 9 am even though you don't really need to be
there until 10:20am to catch the real action.
If you make it through the 3 hour service, please skip the kiddush (its
just cookies and cake) and join us instead for an overly
large and ostentatious Kosher (my husband's idea) evening meal, which
starts at 7 PM,
(not 8 PM.. or you will miss out on the 2000 canapes).
Birchwood Country Club
25 Kings Hwy S
Westport , CT 06880
(which we had to join just for this event and
you would not believe the initiation fees)
You will be in the presence of lots of
boisterous and expensive entertainment
and 60 to 70 unruly pre-teens wearing expensive dresses, funny hats,
fake bling and brand new white ankle socks…
as well as 80-100 middle aged+ adults, some balding, some with bad
toupees, most will be professionally coiffed, designer attire galore,
lots of REAL bling, and most “tootsed” to the nines. At least 1/3
will be hormonally challenged and some will act stupid while under the
influence. Some will not even know where or who they are. Some will
complain about the food. Blah Blah
Blah.
Please have the courtesy of showing up if you RSVP that you are
attending, or you will be billed for $210.00 a plate if you are a
no-show. Please RSVP as soon as you get this and not a day before the
cut-off date. I can't take the stress.
The gift of choice is either green, or contains a routing and account
number. “Off the top of your head” gifts
and Gift Cards are a waste of your time and ours.
Hope you can make it! Lisa and David Miller
