Liam’s Bar Mitzvah 2026
Friday Aug 14th 2026
Welcome to Vermont! Our immediate family is doing a dinner together to celebrate Liam on Friday night. Here are some dinner recommendations for guest who are arriving for dinner on Friday. We suggest reservations when possible and please confirm they are open as some places are lax with their hours in Vermont.
Saturday Aug 15th 2026
Please join us promptly at 945AM at the Mountain School At Winhall where Liam will become a Bar Mitzvah. Following the brief ceremony we will have bagels and brunch at the school. This location is special to Liam as when we moved to the area he attended this school from 2nd grade through 5th great. As part of his Bar Mitzvah he is also doing his Mitzvah project at the school and helping teach outdoor education to the lower school. Please allow the elderly and people with mobility issues to park at the school and if needed and you are capabile you can park in the Winhall Town hall across the street.
