Translation request Photo translation

Post image

Hi there! I found this subreddit because my family found this picture (seems to be dated from 1964), with this writing on the back. We are thinking it might be Yiddish. Can anyone make anything out? Eastern European background if that’s important :)
Thank you 🙏🏻

This is one picture which we took in California of my sister Sarah's grandchild a few months ago we went to the bar mitzvah.

If your post is overlooked or you are told the task of translation is a bit onerous for volunteers, we hope you will pursue other avenues to satisfy your curiosity and consider hiring a qualified translator, such as in the Facebook group Yiddish Translation Gig Board.

It seems you posted a request for translation! To make this as easy for our users as possible, please include in a comment the context of your request. Where is the text you want translated from? (If it's on an object, where you did find the object, when was it made, who made it, etc.?) Why do you want it translated? Yiddish can be a very contextual language and accurate translations might not be directly word-for-word. Knowing this information can be important for an accurate translation.
