Sleepaway Camp Inspired Themed Bat Mitzvah

The Bernstein family of Merrick, New York recently celebrated their daughter Jamie’s Bat Mitzvah at Temple Israel of Lawrence. The entire inspiration for the theme came from Jamie’s second home, her sleep away camp, Nock-a-Mixon. On this special day, the camp was re-named Nock-A-Mitzvah. There were many special party touches to make guests feel like campers!

Jamie’s Mitzvah Project

Jamie collected birthday party supplies for Birthday Wishes, an organization that provides birthday parties for children experiencing homelessness. They provide two types of party programs. The on-site program provides monthly parties at the shelters they serve and celebrates all children, ages 1-18 years, with birthdays in that month. The Birthday-in-a-Box program provides a party box and birthday gifts to children and their families staying in domestic violence safe shelters, hotels, and scattered sites so they are still able to celebrate their special day.

Some advice from Mom Monica

“Stay organized and don’t put off things till the end. If you know your color or theme early on, order your yarmulkes or your invitations ahead of time. Keep a loose leaf with dividers for each vendor with all your contracts, emails and notes. It will help when you need to refer to something quick. The day of the party relax, take in the night and remember to just have fun. It goes by fast.”
