"Becoming a man in Judaism is about responsibility."

Published: 17 June 2024Last updated: 18 June 2024 The Christian headmaster of my brothers’ Protestant prep school knew a thing or two about raising boys, and he envied the way the Jews do it. “The Jewish boys grow a foot after their bar mitzvahs,” he told my father after watching one of my bro...

Love this story! What celeb would you want at your child's Mitzvah?

Adam Levine sang a few songs at Adam Sandler's daughter's Bat Mitzvah, but he wasn't even the most famous person there. Read details here.

It’s a floral frenzy…🌺

Did you know that flowers can serve as a theme all on their own?!

Your child's Mitzvah is a big deal…and it's crucial to communicate your preferences to your vendors so that the day is perfect!

One way to do this with your MC or DJ is by sharing a curated list of music selections. Think of it as a 'play list' and a 'do not play list'. However, it is not a playlist (no space). Your DJ will read the energy of the room and play the right music for that unique moment of your party.
🎤🎵

Don't overwhelm your MC or DJ with a massive play list, but communicate the vibe you're aiming for and share a few absolute favorites. And if there’s a song you absolutely don’t want to hear? Well, that’s even more important to communicate!

What song is your favorite/least favorite to hear at a Mitzvah?

Lucas’ Bar Mitzvah was quite the touchdown celebration! 🏈

He wanted his Bar Mitzvah to be sports-themed with an emphasis on his favorite football team, the Baltimore Ravens!

We decided on floral centerpieces alongside menu cards and table numbers with images of Lucas engaged in sports throughout the years. 💜

As a special parting gift, Lucas' friends went home with custom pajama pants, which they loved!

There are so many amazing options for Mitzvah favors out there, but wearable favors are definitely a fan favorite! 🌟

I've been hearing from many 2026 and 2027 Mitzvah families who are overwhelmed with the idea of planning their child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah and don't know where to start. They aren't quite ready for a planner because they don't know what they want.

It's been a minute since we've shared about our favorite movie of 2023--YSNITMBM. And it's made a (very specific) best-of list---The best Jewish Netflix movie! What an ending to the year!

Netflix, Netflix, Netflix. What are we to make of you this year? On the one hand, the history-changing streaming service has once again raised its prices, much to the consternation of its loyal subscribers. In March, we also lost one of our favorite Israeli shows on the platform, “Shtisel.” On t...

More movies about B Mitzvahs? It's a Chaunkkah miracle!

Teen b-mitzvah movies are SO last summer! Yesterday, Variety announced that Jewish director Jonah Feingold's latest project is — *drum roll* — an adult bar mitzvah movie. "31 Candles," an independent rom-com, tells the story of 30-year-old New Yorker Leo Kadner (Feingold). After running into Eva

"Even if our heart breaks, we must fight like warriors to revel in the goodness and brightness Jewish life offers. Our smile may feel like the lid on a scream. But smile we must and continue to do so until our beloved Jewish homeland reigns victorious over those who would destroy Israel."

In these terrible times, Jewish celebrations show our defiance. Do not cancel them

I've struggled over these few weeks to even know what to say about how broken our world is right now. Another Shabbat comes, another group of children become and and our hearts ache for our brothers and sisters in Israel.

I support Israel. I support peace. I support love. I support the continuation of the Jewish people.
