<p>I received an email setting the record straight as to what happened with Dr. Chaim Soloveitchik's bar mitzvah parsha:</p> <p> <p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); margin-left: 1.25in;">1.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Chaim was born the first day of Succos;</p> <p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); margin-left: 1.25in;">2.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span>So, the Bar-Mitzvah event was scheduled for “Bo Bayom” and he prepared his “laining” accordingly;</p> <p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); margin-left: 1.25in;">3.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Because of the expected influx of daveners, they were going to set up a tent in the courtyard for the Kiddush;</p> <p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); margin-left: 1.25in;">4.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span>The Ba-alei Batim started worrying about the possibility of a heavy rain, which would require an in doors Kiddush for which there was not room in light of the expected crowd;</p> <p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); margin-left: 1.25in;">5.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span>All of which resulted in a postponement of the event to sometime later and Chaim had more than enough time to prepare the new Parsha.</p> </p>
