The Mogelefsky family from Merrick, New York, celebrated their son Jayden’s Bar Mitzvah on October 1, 2016, with a Havdalah service at Temple B’nai Israel in Freeport, New York. The reception was held at Warehouse 5, an event venue in Island Park, New York.
There was a casino themed party complete with a variety of strolling entertainers including: stilt walkers, roulette tables and show girls. There was also a very cute mother-son dance that we bet you will love.

Advice from Mom Yelena
“My first advice during the planning process is to sit down and figure out what kind of party your child wants, and what budget you would like to stay within. There are so many ideas you can get just by searching on Mitzvah Market and Pinterest that can give your party a special personal touch. Once the party is under way, just enjoy! Watch the joy on your child’s face and enjoy the party yourself. Dance because if you dance your guests will dance with you!”
