Are you a parent of the Bar Mitzvah?

You heard the Rabbi say he is now a young man responsible for his own deeds and thoughts. Is it any wonder you’re emotional!

Let’s hope you thought about it in advance and are well prepared in what you want to say and how you are going to say it.

Are you the Bar Mitzvah?

Have you been to loads of parties this year and are desperate to say something different? Lots for you to remember particularly if you want to be witty but not disrespectful, clever but without showing off.

Are you the friend, sister, brother – or both making the speech to the Bar Mitzvah?

You mustn’t poke fun, be personal or boring, or tell a story only a few will understand. These are definite ‘no-no’s.’

Rhyme might make an interesting change!
