Counting down You’ve probably been thinking of ideas for your child’s bar or bat mitzvah since he or she was a baby. But while that’s still a bit early to start the actual planning process, even for the most over-achieving parents, planning a couple years in advance is a wise idea.

Planning the details can be saved until last, especially since preteens’ preferences can change overnight, but the more serious portions should be started early.

2 years out:

the Planning ProCeSS Can begin at leaSt tWo YearS in advanCe

Ask your synagogue or contact potential synagogues to learn what their planning process involves and what their requirements are. Start preparing your child for the event, and start lessons at least one year before his or her bar or bat mitzvah.

This is also a good time to educate your child about his or her mitzvah project and toss around ideas.

Do some research on party locations, caterers, etc., so you get an idea of what you’re dealing with, especially when it comes to costs, and plan a budget. Too many choices can be overwhelming, especially if you’ve never planned an event of this magnitude before. Ask around at your child’s school or synagogue for suggestions.

1 year out:

Narrow down location and party providers, and start booking — the earlier, the better.

Ask your child to come up with several themes for the reception. Hash out how you would implement the details for each theme, and decide on the best one.

Make sure your child understands that once you decide on a theme, it cannot be changed.

6 months out: Your child should begin lessons at least one year prior to the event.

Once you have the synagogue and reception locations set in stone, put together a guest list, and purchase or design your invitations. This may also be a good time to get thank-you notes if you want them to match invitations.

Be sure to send out invitations no later than four months before the event.

Finalize and order party favors, decorations and other details, such as a guest book.

Mitzvah madness

Doing good deeds a right of passage into adulthood

By Abigail Schorr

“Becoming a responsible member of the community is a huge part of Judaism. It’s a very natural and obvious thing to do when becoming a bar mitzvah.”

— Ellen Snyder-Fox

As part of his mitzvah project, Dylan SnyderFox, 13, created clay sculptures, which he used as centerpieces for his bar mitzvah reception. The photographer took photos of the sculptures to turn into note cards, which Dylan sold to raise money for Jewish Adoption and Foster Care Options in Sunrise to help needy children go to art camp.

10

In recent years, many synagogues have been asking bar and bat mitzvah candidates to complete a mitzvah project as part of their bar and bat mitzvah preparations. In Judaism, the term mitzvah refers to an act of human kindness. Mitzvot are commandments, traditionally understood to come from God and to be intended for the Jewish people to observe.

In today’s world, nobody likes to be told what to do, especially adolescents. When a preteen is already spending hours upon hours studying for their big day, the last thing they want to do is a community service project. So how do you make a 13-year-old want to do a project and actually enjoy it?

For Dylan Snyder-Fox, 13, it was about following family tradition and using his own talents to complete his mitzvah project.

For the Snyder-Fox family, volunteering is a tradition, especially volunteering and giving back to Jewish Adoption and Foster Care Options, a nonprofit agency that serves abused and neglected children in South Florida. It aids in adoption and foster care placement and support, group homes, mentoring and more.

JAFCO has been a part of the Snyder-Fox family for years. Dylan’s grandparents endowed one of the therapy rooms in the JAFCO village. So choosing JAFCO as his beneficiary for his mitzvah project came easy to him. Deciding what kind of project to do was the next step.

“Dylan is actually a very talented artist. He makes clay sculptures and every summer he attends the Coral Springs Museum of Art camp.

The camp has really enriched his life,” said Ellen Snyder-Fox, Dylan’s mother.

For his centerpieces at his party, Dylan made Everglades animal sculptures. The family then had their reception photographer take photos of Dylan’s sculptures. They made the photos into note cards and sold a pack of 12 for $18. He raised $1,000. The money was then given to JAFCO to help less fortunate kids attend art camp.

“I really enjoyed going to art camp. I’ve been making sculptures for seven years. I wanted other kids to experience what I get to experience every summer,” Dylan said.

For parents, it’s not just about the party after the service. They want their kids to take their coming-of-age seriously.

“Becoming a responsible member of the community is a huge part of Judaism,” Ellen Snyder-Fox said. “It’s a very natural and obvious thing to do when becoming a bar mitzvah. It’s important for me to teach my children to carry on this valuable tradition.”

When her youngest turned 1 year old, the family, like any other proud family, had a huge party. But in lieu of gifts, they asked their guests to make a donation to JAFCO. “Our daughter is very lucky, and she has everything she needs. So it was only natural to ask our guests to help other children who aren’t as lucky,” she said.

Setting examples such as these is a great way to not only teach children but to show children that giving back is a necessity in life.

Ellen Snyder-Fox, who has one other child, a 17-year-old son, feels it’s important for kids to use their talents and interests to do a mitzvah project as it provides the child with a sense of accomplishment. Her eldest son used his athletic skills for his mitzvah project to raise money for children to attend sports camp.

And when it’s time for her youngest to be called to the torah as an adult, she will follow in her older siblings footsteps, who paved the way with high morals and an extraordinary sense of community.
