Long Beach Temple Israel Bar Mitzvah | Ryan

It was great to be back to Temple Israel for Ryan's Long Beach Bar Mitzvah ceremony this weekend.
Temple Israel is one of our favorites, and we photograph there often--in fact, we'll be returning again this month, and twice in November.

Two weeks in a row in beautiful Long Beach, this time for vibrant Mikaela, who came to the torah the day before Passover at Congregation Shir Chadash in Lakewood.
