It had begun as an electrical fire in the Zebra Room, adjacent to the bride's dressing room.

At one point in the evening, a gregarious Lubavitcher named Shalom Pasternak, who sings in a band he created with my cousin called Kabbalah Dream Orchestra, was helping my cousin dispense shots of whisky and blessings to his friends and family.
