We all have so many choices when it comes to the details regarding our children’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah parties.
Although we can all get caught up in the planning of the celebration, it’s important not to lose site of the meaning of becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
We have found a few interesting options that we would like to share with all of you. Below you will find a list of vendors that you might want to consider working with. In all cases, a donation is involved! Check these out:
