Why Do We Keep Doing It the Same Way

There’s too much information out there and too little real guidance. You get your date and you feel excited and hopeful. But soon, you’re overwhelmed, bewildered, stressed... and casting around for some predictable old formula to cling to. A bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah is an emotional highpoint in the life of a family – we all feel this potential and don’t want to shortchange ourselves in any way. The bar mitzvah planning books out there haven’t done the whole job. They go into great detail about how rituals vary at different synagogues but don’t answer some of the most basic questions of all:
How can I – a normal non-scholarly person – get interested in what my child is studying?
How can I better connect with my feelings of “Jewishness” at this most Jewish time in life?
Or, presuming I know Torah and feel Jewish, how do I use it in the party... and keep it fun and engaging? How do I do justice, partywise, to this very powerful Jewish experience?
Although parents will probably spend most of their time on the millions of party details, most bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah planning books barely mention the party. Some imply it’s shallow to want to throw a great party! Ha!
How MitzvahChic Makes Success Simple
In the process of writing MitzvahChic, I went from having zero knowledge of the Torah to being in awe of it. I found a trail to take you inside the scroll that is the heart of the bar mitzvah / bat mitzvah and the Jewish experience. That’s how I can promise that, with surprisingly little additional effort, you too can experience the wonder.
Whether you consider yourself religious or not.
And, having experienced wonder, you will inevitably host an event more moving and evocative than most people will ever achieve. And who knows where that will lead you... as a Jew and as a human being.
If you are already in a state of wonder about being Jewish, I can show you how to host an unforgettable party that’s about you, your child, and your faith.
When you pick up a bar mitzvah / bat mitzvah planning book, you should feel like you’re “home”; that you now have all the answers you need. The book should sing to you, “Rejoice! This will be such a special day... let me show you how!” This is the book I hope I have written.
