Redondo Beach Bat Mitzvah | Temple Menorah

Last weekend we photographed our first bat mitzvah at Temple Menorah of Redondo Beach, a wonderful Jewish synagogue with a rich 60 plus-year history. Temple Menorah is one of several temples in the South Bay, including Temple Shalom of the South Bay in Hermosa Beach, Congregation Tikvah Jacob in Manhattan Beach, Congregation Ner Tamid in Palos Verdes and the Jewish Community Center Chabad in Redondo Beach. Lots of temples, but not a Jewish deli in sight!

Emily is seen on the bima with the torah, posing with Temple Menorah's Rabbi Steven Silver and Cantor Didi Thomas, and in the Menorah courtyard.
