Tech. Sgt. Craig Lifton, 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs non-commissioned in charge of journalism, laughs as he is hoisted up in the air by fellow servicemembers during his bar mitzvah, March 21, at Gilbert Memorial Chapel. The bar mitzvah took place after a dedication ceremony here celebrating the arrival of a Jewish Torah. A bar mitzvah is a rite of passage held traditionally for Jewish boys when they reach 13 years old and a day. Bar mitzvah literally means, "son of the commandment," -- meaning the person is now of age to fully participate in all aspects of the Jewish religion.
