点评:We actually didn't go
Our granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah was coming up & our son & his wife found "Congregation Mikvé Israel-Emanuel " in Curacao & fell in love with the place.
Contacts were made with the Rabbi & dated were set. Airline tickets were purchased & accommodation was arranged for the 15 family members who were to attend.
A few weeks ago the Rabbi called & requested to hear our granddaughter recite some of the blessings. Our granddaughter as a diagnosed anxiety disorder & froze when requested to recite. Our son assured the Rabbi that she knows the readings & offered to share recordings. The Rabbi refused stating that Mikvé Israel-Emanuel is a "serious synagogue" & our granddaughter was not "serious" & cancelled the Bat Mitzvah event.
Subsequently they received an email from the vice-president of the board saying that they may reconsider if medical prof, of our granddaughter's condition was offered.
Te Bat Mitzvah will be held in Canada.
翻译:实际上我们并没有去。
孙女的成人礼即将来临,我们的儿子和儿媳在库拉索岛上发现了“米克维·以色列-伊曼纽尔会堂”,立刻就喜欢上了那里。
我们与拉比取得了联系并确定了日期。机票也买好了,还为即将前去的15位家人安排了住宿。
几周前,拉比打电话来,希望听听我们的孙女背诵几句祝福语。我们的孙女被诊断出患有焦虑症,当被要求背诵经文时她愣住了。我们的儿子向拉比保证说孙女其实熟悉那些经文,并主动提出可以提供录音供其参考。但拉比拒绝了,称米克韦·以色列-伊曼纽尔会堂是个“严肃的犹太教堂”,而我们的孙女则不够“严肃”,于是取消了她的成年礼仪式。
后来,他们收到了会堂董事会副主席的邮件,称如果能提供关于孙女病情的医学证明,他们会重新考虑这一决定。她的巴特米兹瓦仪式将在加拿大举行。
