It’s All(y) in the Name For Ally’s Bat Mitzvah Theme

The Weiss family from Woodbury, New York, recently celebrated the Bat Mitzvah of their daughter Ally on May 7, 2016, at Old Westbury Country Club in Old Westbury, New York. The theme was a play on her name Ally using the word “ALL.”  From the pillows and pictures around the room, to the decor, give-aways and favors, the family and guests were ready to: “Party ALLy Night,” “Dance ALLy Night” and be “Up ALLy Night.” It’s Ally in the Name!

Pictured L-R: Brothers Ben and Jordan, Bat Mitzvah girl Ally, Mom Stefanie and Dad Jonathan.
