My Bat Mitzvah

June 4, 2005 I Fallon Renard became a woman in the Jewish community. That was the day I read from torah for the first time in front of my whole congregation, family, and friends. It felt great to read from our holy torah on my special day.

After my long three-hour service was over, I felt so relieved and accomplished, and was stoked for my party. I went to the hairdresser to get a new up due for my party. When I got to the Woodland Hills country club and saw all the decorations, it was beautiful and couldn’t wait to have a great time with my friend celebrating me. My dress was a light pink with flowers and jewels and sequins all over and it was wavy towards the bottom. Everyone loved my dress and all the decorations. I had the most amazing dj and everyone had a great time dancing and loved the food. I’m so grateful for my parents and all they went through to give me that amazing night. Even though that night went by so fast, and I didn’t get to eat because I was busy changing outfits, dancing and mingling it was a night I will never forget and I have my picture album incase I do.
