| Bar Mitzva at the Western Wall, the Kotel Ma'aravi 
If you have ever been to the Kotel on a Monday or Thursday morning, the times during the regular week when the Torah scroll is brought out to be read, you have seen the many Bar Mitzva celebrations that go on there. Some people come from far away to celebrate the coming of age of their son. The Alter and Baronofski families came to celebrate the Bar Mitzva of Gavriel Baronofski even if many of their guests were scared away by the possibility of shooting on the roads.
In the center the Alters join their daughter, Sharon, and her daughters at Sharon son's Bar Mitzva.
Gavriel reads from a portion of the Torah scroll.
A proud grandmother looks on to the Reading below her.
