NOTE TO THE READER
Th is issue of Mazel Tov! was reported and written before the full implications of the COVID-19 crisis were clear. As we go to press, it
seems that it will be at least one week, and most likely more, before people are gathering to celebrate life-cyle events again. Still, we present
this content as a fond look back at better times -- and as hopeful inspiration for more such joyous occasions in the future.
