L'Chaim - personalised Simcha magazines

21/03/2024

What a great way for everyone to learn more about the B’nai mitzvah boys… an interview in their very own magazine!

This is such a brilliant way to celebrate a b’nai mitzvah! I absolutely loved producing this special keepsake magazine for a family in Atlanta 🥰

I really enjoy putting together the “on this day” article… I take your child’s birthday and birth year & find out some fun facts!

Here’s a rather special magazine I made which was designed in A4 rather than my usual A5.

Having seen a L’Chaim! magazine on Facebook, Mrs H got in touch with me through the L’Chaim! website. Based in America, this family were looking for a really special way to celebrate the B’nai mitzvah of Gad and Hod which would take place in Israel. Sadly however, a few days after the family arrived in Israel, the war started. I was relieved to hear that everyone was safe and well and it was comforting to know that although the celebration had to be cancelled, the magazine was still printed by the family and given out to their closest friends and family.

Vera Mae's family ordered 150 copies of this super fun A5 16 page personalised Kabbalah mitzvah magazine which was mailed to the guests ahead of Vera Mae's online Kabbalah mitzvah in Chicago, USA. The personalised Kabbalah mitzvah magazine was styled to match Vera Mae's colour scheme using blues, grey, pink, yellow and orange. I also incorporated the logo and fonts which had been used on the invitation stationery.

Take a look at my previous posts to see the rest of this awesome magazine 😊

I’ve been so looking forward to sharing this personalised kabbalat mitzvah magazine with you as it is full of so much love, so many fun things & I adore the colour scheme too 🥰

Let’s kick things off with what Vera Mae emailed me once receiving the magazines in good time ahead of their kabbalat mitzvah:

“Hi, Liz. My Mom showed me the really cool card you made.  It's one of my favorite pictures of me as a baby, so good choice.  Thanks for the mazel tov and for helping my Mom make the magazine. I am happy to see it. There were a lot of surprises in it. My best "across the pond" (what a funny phrase, right?)” Vera Mae XOXO back atcha

Hello! It’s me, Liz! I thought I ought to show my face as it has been a while! This is a picture of me celebrating turning 40 in June this year in Mexico, a dream come true kind of holiday!

As well as turning 40 & being a big fan of the Aztec & Mayan period, here are a few more fun facts:

🐴 Horses & chickens are my favourite animals
🕷I’m scared of spiders
🏃‍♀️I love to run long distances (my furthest run was 100 miles!)
🥔I can eat an enormous amount of roast potatoes in one sitting
✈️ I have done a wing walk for charity

“Liz created an incredible booklet for our family Rosh Hashana. It was beautifully designed & everyone LOVED it. It really enhanced our celebrations.

As a rabbi, I’m really impressed by her work & think it would enhance any Simcha!! There are so many creative ways these booklets can be used for Barmitzvahs & Batmitzvahs; with options to include a family tree, Tzedakah project, D’var Torah, Torah portion? explanation of the ceremony for non-Jewish guests, family photos with messages & good wishes from family & friends.

Every aspect can be personalised to your taste & needs. A keepsake for yourselves & everyone attending your occasion.” - Rabbi Judith Levitt
