Madonna’s Son Rocco Bar-Mitvahed
By Anne Cohen July 17, 2013
Can you picture Madonna and Guy Ritchie dancing the hora?
This is what one can only hope happened after their son Rocco was bar-mitzvahed on July 13 at the Kabbalah Center in New York.
Madonna celebrated her boy’s transition to manhood by posting a picture on Instagram. “We finish the last letter of the Torah for Rocco”s Bar Mitzva,” the caption reads. “Lucky 13! Happy Birthday! Potential……….responsibility!!!!”
The party train continued on to [Bklyn Beast,]( (http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/79571227.html ‘Bklyn Beast,’) New York’s Parkour training ground.
The diva, who gave birth to Rocco in August 2000, has been a student of Kabbalah since the 1990s.
The jury is still out on whether or not this can actually be considered a bar-mitzvah (neither Madonna nor Guy Ritchie are Jewish) but in the meantime — Mazel Tov, Rocco!
