Lily’s bat mitzvah in May of 2025 was full of laughter, family, and tons of dancing. We started our morning off at Temple Beth-El in Providence, Rhode Island and ended our day with a celebration at Breaktime Bowl and Bar in Pawtucket, Rhode Island that has the perfect amount of space for games and dancing and a floor just for bowling for the kids and cocktail hour. Lily whispered to me at the beginning of the day that she had a surprise for me- she would be starting the day off in a blue dress and ending the evening in a little pink ensemble which reminded me of the ending of Sleeping Beauty when her dress changes from blue to pink and back again and again and again… to which she smiled- I think I got the vibe.
