"Driving Backward" to February 1, 2011: Itamar's
Bar-Mitzvah
continued
from Song Page 2007_08_25
On the following five pages Mika is not the center of
my experience,
but Itamar, her cousin on his Bar-Mitzvah, celebrated on February 1, 2011,
in a place, which still breathes the German Templars , one hundred years ago.
All my close sixteen "actors-in-my-drama" were present, except for
Alon,
who could not or did not want to take leave from
his service in the Navy.
And many members of my stepchildrens' families were also there.
So this is an occasion for me and Mika to dive into the richness of our family
and to celebrate the wondrous circumstances: Everyone is alive and in good
health...
See
a previous sculpture about the extended family on the wedding of Hagar, my
step-niece
This is perhaps the best picture of Itamar, sitting
in front of Efrat with Mika on her lap
Ronnit took care to acquaint Mika with a girl of
her age and her essence:
Tahêl, the youngest child of Ronnit's friend Na'ama.
Rafael Rosenzweig , 1922-2001, was married to Ines Cohn from 1946-1963 and to Christa-Rachel Guth from 1964-1981

C h r i s t a - R a c h e l Micha 1966 & Ra'ayah 1957 Arnon 1996
|
Among the guests which are arriving, I discern two
exemplary "mixtures"
 Joel, my stepson, with Ra'ayah, my daughter-in-love, Micha's wife |
 Joel with Hagar, my stepdaughter's daughter, and Ronya the sister of my son-in-love Uri. She was Micha's first girlfriend for 3 years. |
 |
This house was built in 1912,
|
Itamar with his tutor, a secular Jew, who has made it his vocation, to prepare secular Jewish boys and girls for a proper Bar-Mitzvah
 |
Uri between his children Rotem and Jonathan listen to Itamar's reading of his "Parashah" behind them: Efrat, Elah and Tomer |
| Ronnit makes a beautiful speech |
 |
 |
Itamar will now read-sing |
 |
 |
 |
Their laughter contrasts with the seriousness of Gid'on, my stepdaughter's husband , and Hadass, my stepsons daughter
 |
 |
 |
Itamar hugs his family,
|
A truly harmonius family: Uri with his children Jonathan,
Rotem and Itamar
 |
 |
Uri and Ronnit belong to a "Learning Community", ever since 1999, I think.
I, too, was once engaged as a teacher of "Bible & Life" in winter 2001-2002.
I got paid and could buy myself a new computer instead of a second-hand.
It was this Community which added much physical beauty to the already pretty place,
but also to the content: Here Sarit is talking to Itamar, while later she was singing.

Gid'on and Dita have an elder daughter with 3 children, but they are in Moskva, since Orit's husband has a job at the Israeli Embassy
