ort Eskin knows the
law . . . he should,
being a respected at-
torney . . . and so the warning
to people in advance that they
were being "bugged" . . .
Mort had a "mike" attached
to his lapel.
Was the bat mitzvah recep-
tion for daughter Debbie at
Somerset Mall, as folks con-
gratulated the proud father.
Day before, Debbie had
awed apacked Adat Shalom
Synagogue for the morning
services . . . Not only did she
do her bat mitzvah work to
perfection, but Debbie also
read from the Torah without
any assistance.
She shared her great day
with Irina Barsky of the
Soviet Union . . . and
dedicated her masterfulness
to the young lady still behind
Russia's Iron Curtain.
Handed out at the services
were book marks with hers
and Irina's name . . . and
poem written by a young Rus-
sian girl about being
separated from her mother
and father.
Debbie is a happy young
lady . . . She couldn't ask for
better parents than Mort and-
Barbara . . . Both the services
and reception were befitting
of the lifestyle Mort and Bar-
bara have always maintained
. . . and instilled in their
children . . . the essence of
first-class quality at all times.
Debbie's friends made up
almost one-third of the guests
at her reception the next
evening . . . 90 young folks
were among the 260 who
helped her celebrate the
occasion.
Barbara's handiwork in-
cluded her making silver bibs
for the ladies and silver yar-
mulkes for the men . . . Both
were wearing, if desired, as
they sat down in Cafe Jardin
to a fine gourmet meal
served by waitresses and
waiters from Matt Prentice's
Sebastian's . . . delicious gaz-
pacho soup, variety of five dif-
ferent salads passed around,
excellent grilled Norwegian
salmon with a dill and
mustard sauce.
From beginning to end .. .
never closed . . . were open
bars at two sides of the mall
. . . A magnificent 26-foot
sweet table, Matt's pride, with
elegant pastries made at
Sebastian's . . . One of the
names on a torte had some
people stumped . . . until ex-
plained by Matt . . . Sebas-
tian's makes a Mozart torte,
one dark chocolate and the
other white chocolate . . . The
latter is identified by
Mozart's wife's name . . . Con-
stance . . . And also, what
could be more tasteful than
having tuxedoed gentlemen
going about carrying and
pouring after-dinner drinks
. . . true class.
A two-fisted challah-cutting
was performed by Ruby Pacer-
nick and Dan Sandler, Bar-
bara's uncles.
Debbie handled the candle-
lighting ceremony herself .. .
with sister Marcie assisting
her in writing the beautiful
presentation . . . The young
folks sat on the floor listening
as Debbie went through the
candlelighting paces . . . and
then all got up when one of
the candles was dedicated to
them.
Sylvia
Grandmother
Pelavin played piano as Mar-
cie sang "Sunrise, Sunset" to
both grandmothers: Sylvia,
Barbara's mother, and Tillie
Eskin, Mort's mother.
Stuart Rogoff's Touch of
Class orchestra played for
dancing amidst the balloons
galore and silver and pink
motif.
While Mort wore his
microphone, elegant hors
d'oeuvres were being passed
before dinner . . . And Mort
and Barbara made certain
there were two dinners .. .
one for the adults . . . and
another for the young folks,
who also enjoyed pizza, pasta
and Greek salad . . . made by
Matt's staff.
On all tables were bags
with inscription, "A Gift For
You" if people wanted to take
home choices from the
magnificant sweet table .. .
Bags for the young people
were already made up with
their names on them . . . All
tables included miniature
boxes of candy for the ladies.
And when was the last time
you had a peanut butter and
jelly on toast? . . . If you were
at Debbie's simchah, it was
there because this was one of
the wonderful things being
passed about before dinner
. . . and the waitresses con-
tinually went back for more
. . . Fond memories were re-
lived by the presentation of
peanut butter and jelly on
toast.
Dr. Larry and Barbara
Haber wondering if there was
an open store in the mall so
they could do some shopping
. . . Dentist Larry being ask-
ed by a patient at the affair if
he could eat sweets and say-
ing, "Certainly. How do you
think I make my living?" .. .
Dennis Dembs doing a mean
twist as one of the contest
finalists . . . He always was a
fine dancer, especially with
wife Sandra . . . People
wondering who the handsome
"movie star" was walking
around . . . and saying he
looked a lot like Debbie and
Marcie's brother Jon . . .
which he was.
Sylvia Pelavin, Tillie Eskin
and Barbara only three wear-
ing gold bibs . . . Barbara had
run out of the silver material
. . . Norman Steel, who
brought Mort and Barbara
together years ago . . . Ralph
and Edith Levin . . . As Edith
Hershman, she took Barbara
A Soviet twin and
many friends
highlighted Debbie
Eskin's bat
mitzvah.
to a singles dance where the
two met . . . Dental doc Jim
Bittker and wife Louise, Dena
Wein and daughter Debbie,
Marty Leshman, Annette
Barth, etc. etc.
Not a bet missed . . . even
traveling sound studio of
Guest Artist for kids to make
cassette tapes of themselves.
The sign outside Somerset
Mall beckoned guests with
"Welcome To Debbie's Bat
Mitzvah" . . . Mother Barbara
was indeed her own party
planner . . . and one of the
finest non-professionals in
this area . . . Mort couldn't
have been any prouder of his
wife and children.
How proud Irina Barsky of
the Soviet Union would also
be if she too could have been
here.
KEY LARGO Restaurant
on Walled Lake welcomes the
beautiful weather with
throngs of folks on its outside
deck overlooking the water
. . . Steel drum sounds of the
Largo Deck Band are Friday
and Saturday evenings .. .
and Shawn Riley on the piano
is Wednesdays.
STEVE ALLEN of Golden
Mushroom, 10 Mile and
Southfield, won top honors
and $500 in Michigan's other
"Souper Bowl" . . . this one
seeking recipes for the best
soup made of Michigan pro-
ducts with cooks on the panel
of judges recently in Lansing.

Street Restaurant in Pontiac
