It's never too lote for a Bar Mltzva
Their hair, often sparse,
matched the silvery em
broidered band of their prayer
shawls and their new satin
skullcaps. “It’s never too late to
have a Bar Mltzva,” said one of
the 42 American men, up to 90
years old, who took part in a
mass ceremony at Jerusalem’s
Western Wall recently.
Wearing different colored
ribbons in their lapel but
tonholes (to show Priestly,
Levite or Israelite descent), the
Bar Mitzva men followed guides
from the Tourism Ministry —
some diffidently and some with
enthusiasm — up to the Wall.
Their wives, coiffed and wear
ing pastel pants suits and
dresses, stayed behind the rail
ing to watch. The men, in their-
modish and brightly colored
suits and shirts, created some
distraction among the black-
and-white figures who crowded
the area for the Pesach holiday
prayers.
A hassid and a ministry
employee divided them into two
groups and read the Tora por
tion. “Baurruch ataw adonoy. . . ”
they recited one at a time, in rus
ty Ashkenazi Hebrew — a fuzzy
memory from childhoods in
Russia, Poland, Germany or
America. The wives snapped in
stant photographs to record the
event, and the men broke into a
hora.
The first group Bar Mitzva for
adults at the Wall resulted from
a CBS radio broadcast in Miami
a few months ago, when travel
columnist Ethel Blum told
listeners she was about to make
her 13th visit to Israel. "Jews all
over the country, and one in
Canada, asked if they could join
the Pesach cruise, and the thing
snowballed,” she recalled.
When members of the group
learned that two boys were go
ing to have their Bar Mitzva at
the Western Wall, older men who
realized that they never had
their own asked if they could
take part in a belated ceremony.
Other men who had a Bar Mitz
va in their youth but wanted
another one in Jerusalem joined
in the plans.
The Tourism Ministry, which
assists youngsters who plan a
Bar Mitzva at the holy site,
rushed an order for 42 man-sized
prayer shawls and Bar Mitsva
certificates inscribed with each
name.
Among the Bar Mitzva men
was a retired jockey, the mayor
of a Florida town, doctors,
lawyers, businessmen and
former entertainers. Yakov
