Last night the holiday of Shavuot which historically recognizes when Moses received the 5 Books of the Torah on Mt. Sinai, began. Confirmation traditionally takes place on this holiday weekend.
We were a small confirmation class that year at Temple B'nai Israel in Little Rock, Arkansas. (Weren't there were 10 of us?)

It's difficult to believe it was 50 years ago and my honor to read in Hebrew the torah portion with the ten commandments.
Being a pandemic year, the times demand caution and 2020 confirmands wisely and responsibly are Zooming their confirmations. Yesterday in Little Rock almost 300 new cases of Covid 19 were reported... Besides best wishes being sent to all the confirmands, hopes for recovery for those afflicted by the virus.
Do you have any confirmation photos to share? Send them my way. Be sure and include the date. Thanks Brenda for sharing your confirmation class and reminding me of my 50th!
Last week's FOTO FRIDAY was MOTHER NATURE SMARTS
