As an avid tennis player who competes around the country, everyone expected Dani to have a tennis-themed Bat Mitzvah. But she had something else in mind. The Event Of A Lifetime, Inc. brought together her dedication to tennis with her passion for pink and hearts. Dani’s party was a “Love” theme (hint, hint: “Love” is a tennis term!).

Jewish celebrities, they’re just like us.

When Jews achieve acclaim and fame, they sometimes show off Jewish pride and teenage awkwardness with a throwback post to an early performance that left the critics kvelling. And when they do, those pictures find themselves in a round-up of the best in taffeta and feathered hair.

While Synagogue Hebrew schools have a tried and true system for Hebrew language instruction, each year, there are always a few children that make it to b’nai mitzvah season without the skills necessary to read the Torah. If your child is struggling to learn Hebrew, fear not. Here is a guide to getting your child in gear with whatever time you have left before the big day.

The first exposure to the language of Judaism might come in middle childhood when the future B'nail student is enrolled in a formal Hebrew program.

In Judaism, names are more than a way to distinguish one person from another. The Torah and its interpretations teach us that the name is key to the soul. Names tell a story–our story. As Jews, our story begins with a sense of separateness and belonging. A Hebrew name unites us with our people and our history, but also reflects a distance from the mainstream society that surrounds us.

The Anxiety and the Ecstacy of Becoming a B’Nai Mitzvah
The Anxiety and the Ecstacy of Becoming a B’Nai Mitzvah

By Drew Isserlis Kramer

Anxiety is part of the Jewish experience. As if intergenerational trauma from centuries of antisemitism wasn’t enough, children approaching adolescence must grapple with the anticipation of the public spectacle of becoming a B’nai Mitzvah. While the coming of age ceremony is an important right of passage in Judaism, for many young people, the pressure of chanting Hebrew in public and sitting at the center of a large, elaborate party is enough to call for smelling salts. Here are some helpful tips to help your teenager with this angst.
