COVID who? This season is all about celebrations of all kinds and inclusive for all. I am grateful for the vaccine, and as you will soon see, there is not a mask to be seen in this issue of STYLE Magazine.

We start these pages off with the sparkle of diamonds. The AJT interviews diamond expert Keith Saxe where he shares tips for buying the best sparkle you can find, while keeping the four Cs in mind: Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight. Diamonds will forever be a girl’s best friend.

Hey girls, I got the next best thing coming next – latest fashion fun for our local Jewish party and mitzvah scene. This season’s fashion says that anything is a go. Metallic threads, deep colors, skirts of all heights and add a pair of trendy sneakers, for a party to remember.

Talk about remembering, how much fun we had at those Tupperware parties? Well, Jewish Atlanta’s Lauren Ballard has a new gig in town, and it’s all about the “Babka Babe.” That’s right, she is a trendsetter, and throwing Babka Bake parties. Lauren takes orders and arrange classes, read on there more.

While reading the Tanach mentioned in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, is the ancient Jewish Pidyon Haben ceremony performed only on first born male children; and the father’s descent must be from the priestly family of Aaron, “Kohen.” The ceremony is rare as there are other conditions, that this local Jewish Atlanta family met. This story is one you’ll learn from and enjoy.

It seems that getting engaged is the new trend of events. The AJT highlights four recent engagements including: Benjamin (Jamin) Gluck and Quinn Katler, Joe Alterman and Stephanie Friedman, Hannah Jones Morris and Alexandre Swann, and Rabbi Sam Blustin and Allison Goldman. We will plan to follow their stories and possibly report on their upcoming weddings too.

That brings me to the marital bliss that couples share on their relationship’s big day. The AJT shares beautiful stories that you will all enjoy. We start by taking you to the Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown where you’ll join 260 guests to witness the marriage of Samantha Krantz to Jacob Schoen. Then, we will head to Buckhead to join Michelle Raphael and Josh Blum at the Intercontinental Hotel to witness buckets of sentimentality that went into their wedding ceremony.

Next on this ride, we’re headed to the Puritan Mill to witness Robyn DeRoche and Austin Pepper dance their first dance to “Your Song” by Elton John. Last stop is Summerour Studio on Atlanta’s West Side, where this amazing story of Carly Moskowitz and Alexandra Goff saying, “I do” will absolutely melt your heart titled “Love Overcomes All Challenges.”

This train will keep moving as there is so much more in this fall issue of STYLE Magazine. As you continue to turn the pages ahead, you’re going to say, COVID who? But, before you do, continue to check the cdc.gov site to stay aware and take proper precaution, playing it safe while partying hard.
