Our first Bar/Bat Mitzvah Family Program

Our first family program is scheduled for Sunday morning, October 26th. The title of the program is "The History and Meaning of Bar/Bat Mitzvah". Since part of the program is the chance for students to understand what the bar mitzvah experience was in earlier years, I always ask parents to bring in memorabilia related to their own simchas or simchas of other relatives. This can include pictures, invitations, certificates, gifts received or anything else related. We put the items on display and are returned at the end of the program.

It is always great fun to look at the haircuts and clothing styles and the kids love it!
