Jessica sent this note to our bar mitzvah guests on March 6.
As recommendations against larger public gatherings continue to mount here in Seattle, we’ve made the difficult and highly disappointing decision to postpone Adam and Aaron's Bar Mitzvah and accompanying events. A Bar Mitzvah is a welcome to the Jewish community and hosting it with a just small fraction of that community present doesn’t seem in the spirit of the simcha. And, of course, the priority always needs to be with keeping our loved ones safe and healthy.
With that, we *are* pleased to share that, thanks to extraordinary accommodations by our synagogue and reception venue, we have a NEW DATE for the ceremony and evening party: Saturday, July 25, 2020. We anticipate the schedule and all locations to remain exactly the same – just four months down the road. We will be sending a new invitation next week.
We do want to sincerely thank everyone for the plans you’ve made. It means the world to us and we truly hope you can join us in July (and completely understand if you can’t). This was a dramatic turn of events that we couldn’t have anticipated even a week ago and we’re very sad not to be gathering in the coming days. Until July though, wash your hands, cough into your elbow and dream of our beautiful Seattle summers.
All our love,
-- The Scherr-Hailey and Graybill families
