Today was my Pidyon Ha-Ben, an ancient ceremony in which, as the first-born son, I was redeemed from my obligation to serve the priests. My dad "bought" me back from my cousin Ben Doochin (who represented the priests) for 8 silver dollars. My dad was redeemed from Ben's dad using the same coins!
This is a picture of the Abramson cousins (including cousins Laurence and Hazel who flew in from Chicago, cousin Ben who flew in from Nashville, and Uncle Mike):
I also met some new friends...Sophia (with Auntie Jacqui) and Lachlin (with Uncle Dan):
Another picture of Sophia and me:
