Explanation: Personalized Instruction Booklets
Orthodox Perspective
by Rivka C. Berman
Booklets
With your computer and a little creativity, you can publish a booklet as a
guide to the service, a forum for personal statements and a memento of the day.
What to Include:
• Depending on your crowd, there may be a need to give more or less of
an introduction to the whole synagogue experience. Explain the phases of the
service. Write a tour of the synagogue, such as the ner tamid, eternal light,
the ark.
• Some pages can be dedicated to a brief history of the bat/bar mitzvah
celebration.
• Write a biography of the bar or bat mitzvah celebrant. Use a timeline format
if essays are not your style.
• Memories written grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents, siblings and friends
• Color photocopies of baby pictures set alongside more contemporary shots
• Welcome and thank everyone for attending the service (especially the out of
town guests) with a handwritten letter.
• Drawings or poems by the bar mitzvah.
