Like all of my services, I personalize your B’Mitzva program. I work with each unique person or family to craft a meaningful ceremony within a large span of customs and styles. If you are not in the greater Seattle area I can help you through all the preparations and coordinate with your local officiant. If you choose to do a local ceremony I can also officiate. I also love preparing adults for B’Mitzva!

B’Mitzva Preparation

Even if I can’t officate at your B’Mitzva, I can still work with you to prepare for your B’Mitzva day. For questions or to schedule your complimentary 20-minute initial phone consultation and your first zoom session, please Contact Me. I will call you ASAP to schedule.

Initial 20-minute phone consultation Free of charge.

Pre-B’Mitzva Learning Whether I officate at the B’Mitzva or not, I can work with you/or your child during the year (or two) prior to the B’Mitzva. Sessions are personally tailored to your needs. For topic options Click Here.

Pre-B’Mitzva Spiritual Counseling Both adults and teenagers working towards a B’Mitzva can benefit from preparing spiritually and religiously for the post-B’Mitzva reality. This option goes deeper than B’Mitzva training as, in addition to helping make sure you feel competent in your knowledge of the main aspects of Jewish observance, my focus is on helping you find your personal spiritual derech(path) within the larger Jewish path. Figuring out where one stands, or fits as the case may be, in the Jewish world today is not easy.

Basic Custom Tailored Officiant Package

Package includes:

  • Initial 20-minute phone consultation (Free of charge)

  • 3 preparatory zoom meetings (additional add-on sessions available)

  • Google doc design, customization, editing, communication, answering of comments, emails etc.

  • The actual B’Mitzva ceremony

What to Expect: In our initial meeting I will get to know you/or you and your child and discuss how to make the ceremony for this important life event just as you want it to be. Before our first zoom meeting I put together a rough outline for the ceremony on a google doc and share it with you so that you can make comments and ask questions. During the meetings we go over it and customize it, tailoring it to fit your personal preferences as well as determining who will do what. After the details of the ceremony are hammered out we have one more final zoom meeting to go over everything, practice your parts and answer any questions you may have. And then there is the actual B’Mitzva ceremony at your choice of venue!

Note: A fifty percent non-refundable deposit is needed to hold the date for your island B’Mitzva and final payment is due 14 days prior to the B’Mitzva. Travel fees for the day of the ceremony apply and vary depending on location.
