Cape Cod and Brandon's Bar Mitzvah

Brandon's bar mitzvah was held at the historic East End Meeting House (1797) in Falmouth, Cape Cod, MA, with festivities at the Sea Crest Beach Hotel on Old Silver Beach, also on the cape. Brandon impressed everyone with the performance of his Aliyah and with his overall goodness of spirit. And Alec clearly is following in his big brother's footsteps. In addition to attending the bar mitzvah and related events, we took a little time to explore the charming town of Falmouth.
