Henry and His Bar Mitzvah

On the plane ride we had the pleasure of 13 year old Henry and his extended family on the trip with us. I asked the beaming grandfather what the trip to Israel was for since the whole family was going and he said that they are going to have Henry's Bar Mitzvah at the Western Wall on Thursday. He then added that hopefully the boy's father would show up. Turns out the father, the son-in-law of the grandfather, had let his passport expire and didn't realize it until they showed up at the airport. Even I haven't done something that stupid (close but no cigar). Maybe with enough money he got his passport update today and will get a flight Wednesday.
