The JFE Bar/Bat Mitzvah Experience
In Memory of Michael Braverman
Affordable. Meaningful. Stress-Free.
We are dedicated to making your child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah meaningful, memorable, and of course... fun!
Our Bar/Bat Mitzvah Coordinators will meet with each family and child to help plan their very own personalized Mitzvah experience including:
- Picking a Mitzvah project that best suits his or her need and interests
- Choosing an area of Jewish thought to learn and prepare
- Master select prayers and Jewish texts
- Preparing the speech, developing content and confidence in the delivery.
- Mastering many of the meaningful rituals and customs that accompany Jewish adulthood.
Alise Gold, the BMC coordinator, will walk you and your young-adult through every step of the ceremony to make sure that it is a positive and comfortable experience.
Planning the actual event can be confusing and downright nerve wracking ...don't despair! The Jewish Family Experience is here to help you get through it all.
We'll help plan the ceremony you want while giving special attention to your personal concerns.
...Mazel Tov!
