JUNE 4, 2001 Having attended several pow-wows and tribal ceremonies during her tenure as Attorney General, Janet Reno has accepted an invitation to another type of cultural celebration. Reno has told an Albuquerque, New Mexico family that she was so moved by a letter writen by 12-year-old that she is planning on attending Shoshana Moya's June 9 bat mitzvah. Held on one's 13th birthday, the bat mitzvah and its male counterpart the bar mitvah is the traditional Jewish celebration marking the entrance into adulthood. Reno said Shoshana's letter, which offered support of the decision to return Elián Gonazles to his father in Cuba and talked about her grandparents who survived the concentration camps in Germany, was "moving." Reno is visiting Albuquerque and will speak to a local judicial orgnaization on June 7. She might drive out in her recently purchased red 1999 Ford Ranger, she said. Get the Story:
