Harry Potter-Themed Bar Mitzva

At the Tel Aviv Port area.

Grandson of Yardena Ovadia, Lidor.

Pictures here, at 54 minutes or so.

She's here in an interview (in Hebrew) with Ilana Dayan.

Dirt-poor Moroccan from Dimona who made it rich in Equitorial Guinea and is the Honorary Consul for that country in Israel.

For example:

...a key figure in securing the Israel Shipyards deal was Yardena Ovadia, Israel's honorary consul in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea's capital.

It said Ovadia, an Israeli of Moroccan descent, has "solid connections" with the entourage of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, whose regime is flush with petrodollars from its burgeoning oil industry.

"Thanks to those contacts, several Israeli military companies have already landed major contracts in Equatorial Guinea," the Web site reported.

These include mobile observation platforms sold by Aeronautics Defense Systems and Shaldag-class naval patrol vessels in a joint venture between Israel Shipyards, a privately owned yard in Haifa, Israel's main naval base, and Israel Military Industries.

Obiang's presidential guard is being trained by Israeli security firms linked to retired Brig. Gen. Shlomo Ilya and South Africa-based arms dealer Boaz Bedihi, Africa Intelligence reported.

Getting back to the Bar Mitzva, it cost a lot. Over a millionn shekels. Enrico Macias was brought in to join a half dozen other entertainers. Last year, her daughter was married in a Venetian-style affair that cost over 5 million shekels.
