Bar & Bat Mitzvah Ceremonies
(listen to a sample ceremony in Photogallery)
Inclusive is a word that describes a Cantor Mike Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony. Plenty of "aliyahs" or honors for family and guests regardless of their faith: readings in Hebrew and English, lifting, dressing, and carrying the Torah in procession with young children tagging along playing instruments, and a poignant generational Torah passing ceremony. In addition, beautiful personalized prayer booklets for your guests to follow and participate in the service.
Bar & Bat Mitzvah ceremonies are performed in your home, at your party venue, or you may choose among three beautiful Long Island sanctuaries located in Jericho, Woodbury, Wantagh and West Hempstead. Serving Long Island, Manhattan/the five boroughs, and Westchester County.
