Beverly Hills Bar Mitzvah | Temple Emanuel






It's not every day when you get a call from Mexico City asking for photographs and video at a Beverly Hills bar mitzvah. But we were more than up for the task. Trisha and her son Julio used to live in Beverly Hills, then moved to Mexico City, where they now reside. But Julio wanted to have his bar mitzvah in his old home town, so they flew back, and held the ceremony at Temple Emanuel, with the party in an adjoining room, catered by Animal restaurant. One big highlight we'll never forget: the Mexican Klezmer music, provided by the wonderful Mariachi Divas, playing none other than Simon Tov and Hava Nagaila.

Fiddler on the Roof from your friends at Graham & Graham Photography




We stumbled onto this amazing technological marvel the other day--with two mouse clicks and a copy and paste, we were able to present, to all of our loyal readers, the complete movie of "Fiddler on the Roof," for free. Isn't that amazing?
However, we know you're not going to sit here and watch the entire thing, so we played around the settings and offer you instead, a musical highlight, Tevye the milkman singing a song that says what a lot of people are feeling these days: "If I Were a Rich Man."
Enjoy!
