Among the many decisions that need to be made when planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebration is the selection of songs to go along with your child’s montage. As these memories are shared with your guests, make sure to select songs that are reflective of the pictures being shown in your montage.
Here are some of our favorite songs, and the most popular songs used in different sections of a montage, updated for the 2020s Mitzvah kid. If you want to ask other Bar Bat Mitzvah families what songs they used, join one of our regional Bar Bat Mitzvah planning groups on Facebook and join the conversation!
Remember, you can use any of these songs in whatever categories you like!
