Roy's comments at Chabad in honor of Joey Gaals Bar Mitzvah |
||

Greetings everyone, I would like
to take the opportunity to congratulate my brother, Joey Gaal Schneider on
becoming a Jewish man adult on this day. It is astounding how far Joey has
come since he started working with this hefty haftorah. I remember him
starting out with slow and non rhythmic reading like most of us, but he
truly achieved to please us all with his natural musical flow. I can remember myself in this
position about two and a half years ago, reading my own Bar Mitzvah
speech. The thought of Joey being in the same situation that I have
experience not so long ago has reminded me that even though I am older, I
am only ahead of him by a little bit. This is my way of saying to you,
Joey, that whenever you get to places in life that make you uneasy,
whether it’s the first day of high school or dealing with panicky
parents while you first start driving, I have been there only two and a
half years ago and I will always be there for all your firsts as your big
brother, with any help and support needed. Mazel
Tov Joey! |
