Bookroo's summary

Decades after missing his bar mitzvah due to wartime hardships, a grandfather seizes a second chance. As his grandson approaches this pivotal Jewish rite, they embark on a shared journey of faith and family. Will this joint celebration heal old wounds and forge new bonds? Discover the power of tradition and love across generations.

From the publisher

Grandpa was never bar mitzvahed; it was wartime, and life was difficult. It’s been a regret his whole life. Many years later, it’s his grandson’s time to go through the Jewish ritual of coming of age. The father suggests that they be bar mitzvahed together. They study together, recite together, and celebrate together.
