Abstract
Footage of family and friends gathering to celebrate Barry's bar mitzvah.
Description
Family members affectionately tease Barry, the boy who is turning 13. He is trying to cut his cake for his bar mitzvah. He pretends to stab the cake and then cuts it correctly. The room, which appears to be in someone's house, is very full of people. Family and friends talk, laugh, wave to the camera, and pose for photos. The camera keeps scanning the room to show all the people attending. Some of the children, including Barry, come together for a quick photo. The last shot is a close-up of the cake, which says "Bar Mitzvah Barry" on it in frosting.
