Twin Bikers

I am continuing to blog as per usual and hope you can all enjoy the distraction. A customer asked me to make two Bar Mitzvah cards for her twin nephews. Jeremy, on the left, likes biking, playing the trumpet, playing frisbee and Scrabble. Benjamin, on the right, has a drum kit, plays the ukulele and likes biking and reading.

I have shown Benjamin playing the ukulele. A small pile of books to his right represent his love of reading, whilst on his left you can see his drum kit and a bike.

Jeremy is playing the trumpet. A frisbee is flying into the picture, whilst some Scrabble tiles spell out the name of his favourite game. He's got a bike on his card as well. Since the boys are twins I made both cards using the same colour scheme, but switched the colours of their T-shirts and bikes around.

The greeting on the card wishes them Mazal Tov on their Bar Mitzvah. Mazal Tov literally means "good luck", though in practice the phrase is used to express "congratulations". One can expect to hear people shout "Mazal Tov" at Jewish weddings just after the groom breaks the glass, at brit milah ceremonies, and at Bar Mitzvahs.
