The Candle Lighting service at a Bar\Bat Mitzvah is a great way for a young
man\lady to say thank you, and recognize those in his\her life who helped
them to achieve this milestone in their life.

Many families like the idea of saying thank you and offering recognition, but
are tired of candles, as they are so pervasive at Mitzvahs, and are looking
for alternatives to candles as a way of distinguishing their child and event
as unique.

Here are some suggestions and options regarding candle lighting that will
allow you to do just that.

Variations on candles

While candles are the standard you can also use Flowers, Leaves,
Trees, Tony’s, Emmy’s, Academy Awards, Puzzle Pieces that
create a picture of son\daughter, or something to match
your theme.

Rename the Academy Awards \ Oscars to be the Joshua’s or Rachel’s.
Fill in your son\daughter’s name here. Or have the leaves represent a
tree planted in Israel in the name of the person being honored.

Time Factor

If each candle takes 60 seconds \ 1 minute to – Announce, allow
recipient(s) to walk up, take a few pictures, and walk away, then
13 candles would take 13 minutes.

2-3 minutes each is more realistic. So add 30+ minutes to your
time line if you decide on a candle lighting service.

Candle Lighting

Adding visuals, pictures, and video to your candle lighting service
is a great way to keep your family and friends engaged in what
is now a very personal experience.

Your memorial candle can take on the emotional feel of the Oscar’s
Memoriam. Your family candles can include pictures from vacations
and special memories.

Guests unable to travel\attend can record a video message that would
play after the candle is lit, as a surprise for your son\daughter.

Practice Please

Just like your son\daughter will practice with the Rabbi for his\her
reading part in the service, so he\she should practice with cards
or a print out of what will be said for each candle.

Rhyme Time

Aunt Judy you are so much fun, please come light candle number one.
Uncle Irving and I love fishing. It is me and you for candle number two.
And so on.

This Dr Seuss style rhyming is a popular, but not necessary. The
message and sentiment are far more important. (In this blogger’s
humble opinion)

As always ADJA members who specialize in Bar\Bat Mitzvahs can help you
make the most of your Candle Lighting and guest’s experience.

WeddingWire is one of the fastest growing wedding and event sites in the country. They say that “necessity is the mother of all invention” which is exactly why WeddingWire was created: to create efficiency and transparency in the wedding and event space.

While planning his own wedding in 2005, Tim (CEO) became aware of the remarkable inefficiency in today’s wedding market. With engaged couples continually struggling to find the vendor that best suits their needs and vendors constantly searching for new ways to expand their businesses online, Tim and his 3 friends (Jeff Yeh – CTO, Lee Wang – COO, and Sonny Ganguly – CMO) set out to solve this persistent disconnect and provide both parties with simple, yet productive, channels to interact.

For engaged couples, WeddingWire offers the ability to search, compare and book over 100,000 reviewed wedding vendors, from wedding venues to wedding photographers. WeddingWire also offers a comprehensive suite of online planning tools for weddings, including wedding websites and wedding checklists, all at no charge. WeddingWire is about helping brides and groom execute efficiently and effectively on their weddings.

For wedding vendors, WeddingWire is the only all-in-one marketing platform for businesses online and on-the-go. WeddingWire offers one simple solution to build a professional network, improve search visibility, manage social media and reach mobile consumers. Businesses that advertise with WeddingWire appear on WeddingWire.com, ProjectWedding.com and other leading sites, including MarthaStewartWeddings.com (NYSE: MSO), Weddingbee.com and Celebrations.com (part of the 1-800-Flowers family of brands, NASDAQ: FLWS).

Ultimately, WeddingWire is about simplifying your wedding planning by leveraging technology. Whether you are looking for information about a specific vendor, need to comparison shop across vendors, require robust and intuitive management tools, or just want to connect with other engaged couples to share and collaborate in the bride forums, WeddingWire seeks to provide best-in-breed solutions to ease the entire wedding planning process.

Here’s a bit about Melissa Musgrove Photographer-

My first instinct is to say, call me, in a matter of minutes you’ll feel like you’ve known me forever.

The easy info is that I’m married to my best friend and we have two grown children. (I was practically a baby when I married) We are all in the arts and each of have our own businesses.

I’m a dog nut. Inherited from my Mother, I’m sure. I have two of my own, but at any given time I usually have a third as I foster for the local no kill shelter, DAWG, in Goleta. I love to read, and when I do, I can’t get much done until I finish the book. Therefore, I don’t get to read to much during my busy season. During busy season I get by with reading Vanity Fair and Pro Photographer magazines.

I love going to the movies. Independent movies are my favorites.

I like to garden, hike, go to the beach, hang out with girlfriends. Hit a flea market once in a while. Standard girl stuff.

Oh yes, I love photography. Hopefully that shows!

Call me. . . 805-563-5050. It will be like talking to a girlfriend that knows all about weddings!

My Fair Wedding with Action Photo Booth Los Angeles

WE tv’s original series My Fair Wedding is in its fifth season. A bride knows what she wants for her wedding — the dress, the flowers, even the icing on the cake! But with only a few weeks before the big day, celebrity event planner David Tutera shows up and changes everything. How exactly will he tackle these brides’ outlandish ideas to give them a wedding beyond their imagination? David sits down with the bride, he learns her style, likes and dislikes before taking over everything, creating her fairytale wedding in a short period of time.

In this new season, the stakes are even higher as David works his magic in more ways than one. As he rolls up his sleeves in preparation for each wedding takeover, David discovers there’s more to each bride than meets the eye. Whether she wants a shabby chic-themed wedding, entirely goth ceremony, picnic or dragonfly décor, it’s up to David to uncover what she’s really trying to say and translate that into a glamorous, stylish and unforgettable affair. For David, making the day extraordinarily special begins with understanding each bride’s moving personal story — which this season includes overcoming a stroke, an eating disorder, the loss of a child or parent and job loss, amongst others.

When you are planning your son’s Bar Mitzvah, one of the things with which you need to use careful consideration is the Bar Mitzvah DJ. Your reception most likely will have about an equal mix of children and adults. They probably do not have the same taste in music so the difficult part is finding the right DJ who can bring both groups together. Many people remember the reception based on how well they liked the DJ. This is why it is important not to hire the first DJ you find. You should do your research on the different ones in your area to ensure you are getting the best one.

When you are doing your Bar Mitzvah DJ research, no question should be off limits. You should ask them what type of music they typically play at Bar Mitzvahs. Possibly the most important question you should ask a potential DJ is whether they typically play at Bar Mitzvahs. Many DJs play at wedding receptions, and although they are similar, there are different rituals of which the DJ should be in tune with. If you still are uncertain of whom you should hire, you actually could go as far as asking the DJ for recommendations. Talk with people who have used the DJ before. Ask if they enjoyed him and whether they would hire him again.

Another thing you need to take into consideration when hiring a Bar Mitzvah DJ is how involved they plan on being during the ceremony. It may be important for you to have your DJ active in hosting the event. If this is the case, then your DJ needs to be familiar with all the rituals that go along with a Bar Mitzvah reception as opposed to a DJ who may be less expensive but that plans to be more passive. Your guests will remember the Bar Mitzvah party in some part based on how the DJ controls the crowd.

Because your son’s Bar Mitzvah is one of the most important days of his life, you need to make sure you use careful planning when it comes to his reception. He only will have one Bar Mitzvah, so you want to make sure the reception can be as great as possible. You can do this by hiring a Bar Mitzvah DJ who has experience in entertaining both the children and adult crowds together, knows how to get people dancing, and is confident and alive. This experience will ensure that everyone has a good time!

Simchat Bat – Celebrating the Birth of a Jewish Baby Girl

There is no arguing that the Jewish baby boy who comes into this world is given a grand and meaningful welcome. The Hebrew word for circumcision is Brit Milah, and it means covenant. The newborn boy is welcomed into the ancient covenant that binds the Jewish people and their Creator. In recent times young Jewish families have expressed a desire to welcome their baby daughters in an equally meaningful way. Although there is no commonly accepted ceremony to answer this need, we do not have to look too far into our Jewish past to uncover beautiful customs and traditions centered around the celebration of the birth of a baby girl.

–Ancient Jewish customs–

According to the Jewish Life Information Center (itim.org.il), in the Middle Ages some Ashkenazi communities performed the ‘Choyl-Kreish’ ceremony. In this ceremony, the women of the community gathered in the baby’s house and candies were distributed to all the young girls, who would dance around the baby’s cradle, calling out ‘what will be the baby’s name?’ In response, the mother would loudly pronounce the baby’s name, and those present would lift the cradle, a symbolic act that validated the declaration.

Certain Sephardic communities, for many generations have been celebrating a Zeved Habat. This is performed in the home, in the presence of both parents and the entire congregation. The baby is publicly named and special verses and liturgical hymns that relate to daughters, gratitude, and blessing are recited. Many Jews of Sephardic origin continue to hold a Zeved HaBat to celebrate the birth of their daughters.

–Giving new meaning to old customs–

Noa Choritz, a nurse and a young mother, was very inspired by a Sephardic Zeved HaBat that she attended. So when her own daughter was born she drew upon much of the traditional Sephardic formula in structuring her own ceremony… “I felt very strongly that I wanted our daughter to be welcomed with the same importance that our son was welcomed, both as a message to our community that daughters are no less important than sons, and as a message to our children that our daughters are just as special to us as our sons.”

Noa and her husband are just one couple among many that have been seeking to provide a meaningful welcoming ceremony for their baby daughters. In recent years, Simchat Bat (joy of girl), Zeved HaBat (gift of girl) and Brit HaBat (girl-covenant) ceremonies have become more popular and widespread. Families wanting to mark the birth of a baby girl will find that there are actually many advantages to the fact that there is no proscribed service! This means that the family can build a ceremony based on their own personal expression and creativity and combine traditional elements which are significant to them.

–The maternal chain of generations–

Shoshana Kordova, a journalist and translator, recalled telling the guests at her Simchat Bat ceremony that “newborn boys are traditionally welcomed into the Jewish community during the Brit Milah, and while it can be argued that girls implicitly become part of the community just by being born, we wanted to adapt the Zeved Habat ceremony to give our daughter an explicit welcome, not just an implicit one.”

Shoshana and her husband Warren chose to read traditional and contemporary Jewish texts reflecting the birth of a daughter and psalms that expressed gratitude and praise to God. It was very important to them to perform the priestly blessing as Warren is of priestly descent (a Cohen) and he performed the blessing himself. They chose to recite the traditional blessings from the Sephardic Zeved HaBat service.

It was important for Shoshana to express the significance of the maternal chain of generations which her baby girl was joining. The baby was brought into the room by her sister, and then handed to Shoshana, who in turn handed the baby to her mother, who held her throughout the ceremony. The women of the family were given the honor of reciting many of the traditional blessings.

–A double Simchat Bat–

Rachel Wachtfogel, a teacher, celebrated a double Simchat Bat for her twin girls at the end of a physically and emotionally difficult pregnancy. “It was very important to my husband and me to express joy, as well as gratitude to God for the miracles that we had been through. Every birth is a miracle, and we had twins after a complicated pregnancy. We really wanted to recognize the miracle together with friends and family.

“We read a psalm which we related to, both because it conveyed gratitude and because it mentioned the names of our two daughters (Hallel and Hodaya). I found this in a compendium of women’s prayers from the 18th Century. This prayer really spoke to me. I modified it and used it. It expressed thanks for what both I and the babies had gone through, as well as prayers for the future. I wanted to thank God for bringing us this far and to express hope that He would be with us for the rest of the way, watch over my babies and help me be a good mother to them.”

–Rejoicing with beautiful customs and a great spread!–

There are numerous beautiful customs and symbolic acts that can be performed to bring meaning to the occasion, ranging from reclaiming the Talmudic custom of planting a tree in the babies honor (the JNF did not come up with that idea), to washing the girls feet (a biblical gesture of welcome), to inviting the immediate family to bless the girl under a prayer shawl canopy (huppa).

No Jewish simcha would be complete without a festive and bounteous array of food! The guests back at Noa’s Zeved HaBat enjoyed the meal, and also expressed their enjoyment of the meaningful occasion… “We received lots of comments from our friends on how they wished they had done something like this for their daughters, or others who had not yet had children thought that they would like to do something like that one day.

“This was another part of our message, that the Zeved Habat ceremony should be reclaimed, by both Ashkenazi and Sephardic communities, so that it is not a unique ceremony but as commonplace as a Brit Mila.”
