Havdalah, motzi, candle lighting and some chair rides. Things that are more or less traditional, more or less formal and all important.
Melissa and Dick getting ready for Havdalah.
Melissa and Dick lead Havdalah while Lisa and Jonathan look on.
Left to right in background are: Nina, Liz, Miranda and Alex Stein, Daniel Saxe and Emily Ringel.
David Sacerdote and David Lintz lift the near side of Melissa's chair. Dick
was on the back side. Who was the fourth?
Lori, ?, Derelyn Diamond, Jeremy Moskowitz, Lynn Paikowski in background.
Dick lifted in a chair by David Lintz, David Eisenberg and others.
Jonathan lifted by David Lintz, David Eisenberg and Gil Brodsky?
Lisa is lifted by David Lintz, David Eisenberg and Gil Brodsky?
Frank Goldberg and Ray Karesky talk before Motzi.
Frank Goldberg makes Motzi as Estelle looks on.
Estelle gets the first candle. Grammy always is the favorite.
Dick's father was in the hospital and so the Pennsylvania crew couldn't come. Jonathan lights their candle.
David, Dorothy, Michael, Carol and George light the third candle.
Lisa relied heavily on advice from Carol Lintz, Debi Chernick and Lesli Reich during the planning insanity.
Dick's Uncle Mike and Aunt Mary Ann lit the fifth candle. Don't believe Mike if he introduces himself as Jim!
Melissa called in all the relatives on the Robinson side. This includes
people who were married to someone related through the Robinson side.
Marie Silverman lit the candle for this group.
Others in the crowd: Debi Chernick, Helen Chernick, George Sacerdote,
Carole Sacerdote, David Sacerdote, Estelle, Matt Silverman, Dick, Lisa,
Alana Chernick, Melissa, Marc Silverman, Michael Sacerdote, Jonathan, Jean Silverstein
and Joe Silverstein.
Next we get all the Liberman relatives. Same rule as above. Krystal Klein
list the candle for this group.
Others in the crowd: Stanley Machlin, Hank Diamond, Phyllis Diamond, Marian
Diamond, Barbara Machlin, Sayde Karesky, Derelyn Diamond (hidden behind Sayde),
Edward Diamond, Eileen Riback, Frank Goldberg, Janice Lazarus, unknown head,
Carol Sacerdote, George Sacerdote, Estelle, Lisa, Ray Karesky, Melissa, Krystal
Klein, Dick, Jonathan, Bruce Diamond and Marian Diamond.
The Ringels, Tante Dawn, Uncle Maury and Emily, got the next candle.
The biggest crowd of all. All of the members of the temple who were among our guest got called on this one. Josh Pankin did the honors.
Melissa's close friends from Camp Kingswood were up next. Sarah Enos, Melissa and Talia Ringer light the candle while Jonathan looks on.
The Schechter kids were next. Jeremy Moskowitz and Josh Pankin can't decide
who will get the candle. What do you think?
In the crowd: Emily Lipman, Liza Elkin, Josh Pankin, Zara Budd, Jeremy
Moskowitz, Melissa, Kira Leeds. Jonathan hangs in the background; isn't he a
Schechter kid too?
Number twelve goes to Jonathan. I guess he had to get in there somewhere!
Last but not least, Mom and Dad. Jonathan finds his way in too.
After all that, puff they are gone!
The Schechter kids serenade Melissa with a song they wrote.
A black and white version for a little color.
Lisa made a three hanky speech about Melissa.
Same in black and white.
Melissa moves in closer to hear the speech better.
Same as previous in black and white.
I guess Melissa appreciated the speech. Earns big hug.
Dad makes a toast so quick the photographer almost misses it.
Appreciation, the Sequel. I guess Melissa liked the toast too.
