An “outRACHous” Bat Mitzvah Celebration in Oceanside, New York

An “outRACHous” Bat Mitzvah Celebration in Oceanside, New York

The Martin family of Dix Hills, New York, celebrated daughter Rachel’s Bat Mitzvah at Temple Beth Torah in Melville, New York. There was a party in her honor at the K Lounge at Temple Avodah in Oceanside, New York.

Rachel wanted a party with just close family and friends. It was a true “kids party” that included family and adult friends who are close to Rachel. It was intimate and “outRACHous” with all familiar faces to help celebrate Rachel becoming a Bat Mitzvah.

Simon Elliot Events was the photographer and the rest of the vendor information is listed below.

Some advice from Mom Nancy:

“Plan early, keep organized and know that the bumps in the road all work out for the best. Relying on good friends who have gone through this planning process before was also extremely helpful.”
