Hess Kramer Bar Mitzvah | Wilshire Boulevard Temple | Los Angeles Bar Mitzvah

Here's some shots from one of our all-time favorite Bar Mitzvah shots, an outdoor event at Camp Hess Kramer in Malibu, the facility run by the Wilshire Boulevard Temple. Best-known as a summer camp, the hillside "chapel," also serves as a homey setting for an outdoor Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Brandon was called to the Torah recently at WBT's Hess Kramer, with a fun party down the hill afterwards in a tent. Mazel Tov Brandon!

Malibu Bar Mitzvah | Jason 3/1/2008

It was back to Malibu last weekend for Jason's bar mitzvah at the fun Malibu Jewish Center & Synagogue, where rabbi Judith and Cantor Marcelo sing up a storm. Jason read from the torah, and had his relatives hand out candy to the kids before hand. Candy? To throw up on the bima after he did his reading.
We love the wide open spaces of the facility, the abundance of window light and the huge outdoor patios adjoining the sanctuary.
