Today, I arrived at the bar mitzvah ceremony of my son, who is my entireworld. I entered the beautiful synagogue in Kfar Sava, which was filled to thebrim with angels in the form of children from the Tali School in Ra'anana, whotake part in Masorti’s program. I had the privilege of witnessing my son pray byusing his eye-tracking system. Every time he finished, they applauded him and cheered him on. Finally, the moment came when my wife and I were called to the bimah to give our blessing. That’s when I understood that this program is not just about religion, it’s also about the core principles of Judaism, such as acceptance of the other, human dignity, and above all, that derech eretz (ethical behavior) precedes the Torah."

This process for Yarden was exciting and happy. The event itself was amazing, emotional, and well adapted for him. Yarden learned to read and sing the prayers, and was surrounded by a lot of love, where he was surrounded by his immediate family, school staff, and his classmates.

My son and daughter celebrated their Bar and Bat Mitzvah on dates very close to one another, so we held a joint ceremony. Rabbah Sarah Cohen officiated the beautiful ceremony. It was very emotional for all of us, and we were so happy to see how surprised our children's friends were that they could read from the Torah and really enjoy the ceremony.
