I recently photographed Zach’s Bar Mitzvah at Congregation Tikvoh Chadosheh in Bloomfield, CT, which later in the evening became a rockin’ casino-themed part at the West Hartford Town Hall. In between a charted school bus transported Zach and his friends from one location to the other. Here are some photos from that night…
