The Allen/Barbash family, Brian and Susan, Alexandra, and Rachel, were and are very good friends. Our kids all grew up together. And we were pretty active at Congregation Beth Emeth, in Reston, VA, during those years.
As is typical with bar and bat mitzvahs, which are when our children become adults in the Jewish faith, LOTS of family and friends are invited. It's pretty much as important an event as a wedding. These photos bring back some really great memories.
