Mitzvahs

Bar, Bat, and B’rit Mitzvahs

Whether a Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, or B’rit Mitzvah, we know how to make your guests happy, your child shine, and let you be able to enjoy the celebration! Over time, Mitzvah celebrations have been getting bigger, more elaborate, and much more adventurous.

How Bar- and Bat Mitzvahs used to be

It used to be that a boy would celebrate his Bar Mitzvah age 13 at the social hall of his synagogue with a Kiddush luncheon or at his Bubbe and Zayde’s place where everyone would gather for lunch, maybe dinner, and that would be it.

The way they are today

People marry later, have children later, and want to celebrate and share these milestones with friends and family. Families are truly dispersed far and wide nowadays.

Creating something for everyone

We frequently work with families celebrating a Mitzvah with guests flying in from other countries. That adds another layer of complexity and expectations. You also have differences in time zones, customs, and cultures.

Making it about your guests

I had the joy of reading this book by Will Guidara, Unreasonable Hospitality. It mirrors the sense of this is what we (Handy Entertainment) are trying to make, build, and achieve. The world moves more and more quickly every day and the only breathing room exists in moments of simple kindness. Whether that means saying ‘Thank You’ to someone, or opening the door and holding it for someone else, or even letting that person pull in front of you in traffic, it’s all in. Let it begin with me.

Why put so much into it?

Families dedicate enormous time, energy, and expense creating celebrations for their child’s Mitzvah. More than ever before, it is about creating bonds with extended families and sharing traditions.

More than memories

Make more than memories. Bringing all your people together is a great opportunity for your family and friends to create and build relationships over the course of a day or the several days that they’re together.

Entertainment that appeals to all age groups will help them find common ground quickly and easily.

Connections

We help by creating a welcoming and fun environment that brings everyone together.

Making your day about you

Why are we hands-down your best choice for your Bat- or Bar Mitzvah entertainment? Because we care. You might shrug your shoulders and say, “So what?”

Here’s why: People feel it, and they respond to it. They feel at ease and are able to connect and participate. They find common ground–and that makes them happy.

Budget Tip!

Using your synagogue, day school, camp, or community center’s social hall and kitchen can save you a ton of money, keep things centralized, and support your support system!
