Some Of The Items Needed For A Bar Mitzvah Ceremony

By Danielle Galloway


When planning a Bar Mitzvah ceremony, there is a lot to consider for the organizers. This very special event takes place when a boy of the Jewish faith turns thirteen. Young men are considered to become adults at this age. They read portions of the Torah while their proud family members look on. To plan such an event, parents of the child need to make sure that their son takes the lessons needed for this occasion, check with their rabbis for available dates, find a venue for the party to follow the ceremony, hire a photographer, hire a DJ, and find a catering service to use. These will all be looked at more below.

The youngster's caretakers need to make sure that their child has the training needed for a Bar Mitzvah. Young men on average have to take classes in advance of a year. These studies revolve around the boy's faith, and a workable schedule has to be put together with the religious leader who will be orchestrating the studies.

Jewish religious leaders have to be contacted, and parents need to inquire about dates to hold the event on. As is the situation with other important events, the religious part of the Bar Mitzvah has to scheduled a long time in advance so as to secure the date that is desired. This is one of the first steps that has to be taken when one is planning this particular ceremony.

A venue has to be found for the party which follows the ceremony in many cases. It is becoming standard to have some sort of celebration after the Bar Mitzvah ceremony. Some of the places to look into are catering halls, restaurants, and places that rent out space for special events such as community centers. Temples themselves may have space available.

A photographer should be hired to take professional photos at the event. He or she could capture moments both at the religious service as well as at the party afterwards. These professionals could be located through word of mouth or via Internet searches and social media. It is best to find a photographer who comes with some positive recommendations.

A DJ needs to be hired for the party after the ceremony in many cases. One may want to look into disk jockeys who specialize in Bar Mitzvahs, as they would be familiar with traditional Jewish songs which are commonly played at such events.

If the venue where the party is being held does not serve food, then a caterer has to be located. These professionals can be found on the Internet or through asking others. As good food is very important, as in the case of any vendor, caterers should be recommended by those who have had good experiences with them.

Much has to be considered where a Bar Mitzvah ceremony is concerned. Party organizers have to think about religious instruction for the boy making his Bar Mitzvah, dates and venues to hold the event on, hiring a disk jockey and photo professional, and much more.
