Eretz, is our third child, our first girl. Any ideas we had about BabyX and how the difference between boys and girls was all socialization was shot to pieces when she was born. Guess what. She really is a girl. Here's the explanation we gave at Eretz's Simchat Bat, to get her started on her own path.

Many years have passed since then, and we reach another milestone. Girls mature earlier than boys, and at age 12, we marked her entrance into adulthood as a young woman: her Bat Mitzva.

People spoke about what they've seen in Eretz up 'till now, and what they see and hope for the future.

Wild Women Dancing.

A landmark. So we marked. Everybody marked. It was nice.

A good time was had by all.

The happy parents.

And then, it was all over. Out of the fancy clothes, and back to being good old Eretz.
