Bar Mitzva Culmination of a Family's Dream One aspect of last Satur- day's Sabbath service at Cong. Shaarey Zedek was described by Rabbi Irwin Groner as "singular and unique." It was the Bar Mitzva of Steven Paul Mitchell, son of Mrs. Richard Mitchell of Dundee Rd., Huntington Woods, and the late Mr. Mitchell. Steven, who shared the service with another Bar Mitzva, Howard Bennet, pre- pared for the event despite obstacles created by deaf- ness. Unlike the routine multiple blessings by the rabbi when there is more than one Bar Mitzva, Rabbi Groner ad- ROSENOW And his Continentals 398- 3664 Music & Entertainment OFFICIAL —T- 1 - AGENCY TISSOT TRUSTED FOR ACCURACY SINCE 1853 AUTHORIZED SALES & SERVICE dressed Steven separately. He pointed to the resolute- ness and determination of the deaf boy, who learned Hebrew to be able to recite the prayers and to partici- pate in the services, on the Youth ews occasion of his reaching maturity according to Jewish tradition. Steven recited — before a congregation of close to 1,200 —the basic prayers and read in its entirety the prophetic portion for last Sabbath, in Hebrew, from Amos 7:15. On May 19, Steven will have an aliya at Cong. Bnai Israel, Northamption, Mass., where he attends the Clarke School for the Deaf. Steven's achievement rep- resented the fruition of a dream of his late father. Mrs. Mitchell, who carried on her husband's work, helped form the first Jewish education class in the Mid- west for the hard of hearing. It is sponsored by the United Hebrew Schools.
