Oh to be Young and Pretty

The fantasy bar/bat mitzvah came true last night at the Puck Building. No braces, acne, or dresses picked out by Mom. No Torah portion. Instead: Every man and woman in their sexual prime. Open bar. Lots of good snacks (s'mores, pretzels, peanuts, chocolate chip cookies, and a table of candy). And the party didn't cost your parents a fortune. In fact, it raised money for the annual campaign of UJA-Federation of New York. So remember, 13-year-olds, if your party this year isn't a blast, just wait a few years to attend "Generosity," a party organized by the Generosity division of the federation. Because becoming an emerging leader and philanthropist may just be more exciting than becoming a man. See the party in Out & About's Photo Album.
