That's Simon in the stripes and red vest. Both boys are wearing a tallit katan for the first time.

Conferring with the rabbi.

Is anyone cold? It's in the 50's.



Desi points out where the first cut is to be.

This time Desi says, "You can cut Simon's first."

Singing "Torah Torah Torah" while the rabbi makes the cut.

Rabbi Stephanie gives them a blessing.


Grandma has been waiting a long time to cut those dreds.

Marc/Chief/Daddy and Linda (our education director) get their cuts in.





Fellow SF-to-Tucson transplant Michael T-W. cutting Si.

David H. flew in from SF.

The aleph-bet and "Sasson v Simcha....Simcha v Sasson" (The boys' names which mean joy and happiness.)




The rest of the visit:
Guess which city David flew through.

Riding the trolley with Raoul at sunset.

Chief gets buzzed...


...and vacuumed by Raoul's mom.
