Planning the Event 

I customize every event to my client's needs. It is my priority to make sure the event reflects the way you want it to be viewed by your family and friends. Each event is unique, as is each young adult being celebrated and should be conducted as such.

Four to six weeks before the celebration there will be consultation with the parents and the b'nai mitzvah child to go over the format. One to two weeks prior, there will be a follow up call during the week of the event to finalize the festivities. You will be provided a Mitzvah Reception Planner to plan such events as the grand entrance, a Hora with chair lifts, the candle lighting ceremony, toasts, the Motzi, the Kiddush, as well as party games and contests. There will be a timeline provided to your venue manager, photographer, and videographer to ensure the celebration flows

Tradition
The celebration of this religious rite has been a custom since the Middle Ages. During this era, a young Jewish man reached majority at the age of twenty. This is when he was considered to be responsible for his own financial and military obligations. The only change in his status as he passed from childhood through adolescence was at the age of thirteen. This is when his father no longer was considered responsible for his religious conduct or education. This was accomplished with the pronouncement of a simple benediction.

A Jewish girl is traditionally considered to have reached her religious majority at the age of twelve years and one day. Despite her earlier maturity, it is only in recent years with the growth of Jewish egalitarianism that the Bat Mitzvah as a religious ceremony has become popular. In the past, a small family dinner was held to honor the girl's twelfth birthday, and her parents would simply recite a traditional blessing freeing them from the responsibility of her religious conduct. Today, an increasing number of Jewish congregations have embraced the idea of offering to thirteen-year old girls the same privileges and responsibilities at her Bat Mitzvah that a boy receives at his Bar Mitzvah.

The Celebration
A party celebrating the fulfillment of this religious commandment (seudat-mitzvah) often follows the religious ceremony. This may begin with a Kiddush (sanctification of wine and sharing of Hallah). The simhah (joyous celebration) announces the child's attainment of religious majority at a party that is held outside of the synagogue.

Our Company

At Arizona Party Tunes we understand unlike weddings, Bar Mitzvahs are deeper religious implication of the occasion they are hosting. Arizona Party Tunes do not only concern them with the surface nature of Mitzvah entertainment, they deeply ingrain in their own psyche the cultural and spiritual expectations of the guests and participants of this occasion.

We love to entertain at Bar & Bat Mitzvah celebrations! They are exciting!! At these events we use our wireless microphone to act as a Master of Ceremonies and orchestrate a series of events and games.
