A Bar Mitzvah, a Wedding and a Bris

An exciting week in Shanghai and it's not even Friday yet! The Shanghai Jewish Center hosted a Bar Mitzvah Sunday, a wedding Tuesday night and a bris Wednesday evening.  What could be better?

While I did not attend the bar mitzvah I am sure they were as exciting as the wedding and the bris.

The wedding was for an 80 year old couple visiting from Florida.  They set sail on a cruise from Fort Lauderdale in early January and arrived in Hong Kong last week.  Nearly two months of cruising! They flew to Shanghai to have an very VERY low key and spontaneous wedding.  No family, just us locals in Shanghai.  At first there seemed to excitement that this couple is on such an adventure and to elope in China! But it was truly amazing how the Rabbi and the Rebbitzan helped create a truly special chuppa.  We didn't know anything about this couple but we all came together and shared in their happiness, it was so random, so fun, so Shanghai!
