Bar Mitzvah Party Planning
Bar Mitzvah Planning Guide
Bar Mitzvahs are a coming of age celebration that requires careful planning due to its special meaning. In order to plan a Bar Mitzvah event, you will need to decide on a few things such as theme, event location, guests and more.
First, pick a theme that represents interests, milestones or goals that the young boy or young girl having the Bar Mitzvah aspires too or already has accomplished. Making the theme more personal is part of the whole Bar Mitzvah experience. Plan the Bar Mitzvah party to focus in on the young boy or girl rather than a party atmosphere at the reception.
Before you can celebrate at the reception, the Synagogue event has to take place. This is where the Five Books of Moses is read aloud. After the allotted time has passed and the young girl turns twelve or the young boy turns 13, the father customarily reads a blessing.
Finally, you will want to give a gift that is meaningful. Many people have chosen to give a gift that the child wants such as an electronic device or trendy gadget. With that said, it is really a time to instill in the child the idea of growing and becoming more responsible. Giving back to the community is one of the best ways to accomplish that. A tzedakah, or charity box, is a box that is kept in the household where members drop change into it. When it gets full, the family takes it to a local school or similar and donates it.
Planning your child’s Bar Mitzvah does not have to be hard. Instead think of it as a way to express love and sage.
