The Sollender Bat Mitzvah Family Spotlight

The Sollender family celebrated their daughter Paige’s Bat Mitzvah on September 25th, 2010 at the Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park, New Jersey.

They had a morning service, followed by a kiddish and then an evening party with a “skiing” theme.  Her logo, which included her initials, was used throughout the party elements – “PS I (heart) love Skiing.”

Sollender video

Mom Shari has a montage business called, Images4Ever and created her daughter’s fantastic montage. Watch here.

Mitzvah Mom Shari has this advice for our readers:

“My advice would be to take deep breath before the day begins. Try to take notice of everything in the event room because the party goes by very quickly. Relax, have fun and make sure you drink water to stay hydrated throughout the night. It truly is a wonderful and special day no matter what you do. Just enjoy.”

Mitzvah Project:

Paige decided on a Mitzvah Project that had a lot of meaning to her family. Her grandfather had a stroke about 12 years ago and for the last 8-9 yrs of his life he lived in a nursing home. Whenever they visited, they always brought along their golden retriever, Sonny.

Paige and Sonny

Everyone loved seeing Sonny. Unfortunately Paige’s grandfather passed away almost 2 years ago but they will never forget how much joy Sonny brought to all the residents of the home.

For her Mitzvah Project, Paige decided to visit local nursing homes with Sonny so other people can enjoy her. She visits about once a week and really enjoys seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces when they see Sonny.
