"Today I am a fountain pen". How many of today's youth would understand the reference or why this was a punch line. I rmember the old standard from the bar mitzvah speech.

I quit Hebrew School the year before my bat mitzvah, and as I was a girl, my family let it go. My brothers were both bar mitzvah boys. I'll post my speech for the full story.

I am just curious...why the bat mitzvah now? I have read nearly every post on your blog looking for the answer to that, but I guess it's easier to just ask! :) I think it's awesome and I particularly enjoy the adult bar/bat mitzvahs at shul. I look forward to coming back often to read your 'latest!' L'Shalom, Yehudi Great site here, Meryl! I am just curious…why the bat mitzvah now?
