Dear Charlotte and Yaakov: Mindy and I would have been delighted to attend Daniel's Bar Mitzvah on Thanksgiving morning, p. G. Having enjoyed the last one as much as we did, we looked forward to a repeat performance this year. Regretfully (but, of course, not unfortunately), we shall not be able to attend because of other commitments to "simchas" at this very time. It seems that everybody, including close friends and members, is either getting married or having a Bar Mitzvah this Thanksgiving Day. Please forgive us then, and please ask Daniel to forgive us too. We look forward to joining you at other "simchas" in the future, and meanwhile express to you our deepest feelings of joy and our most genuine good wishes for "mazel tov," and years without end of undiminished "nachas" as he grows up into the kind of Jew and human being who will justify his parents' fondest hopes, and realize their greatest dreams for him.Sincerely yours,RABBI NORMAN LAMMRNL/fz
