Unforgettable Bar Mitzvahs

and Bat Mitzvahs Trips

You're planning a Bar Mitzvah Trip for your own family in Jerusalem, but is the Western Wall the best alternative? You want a site with both privacy and an inspirational view, but what if it rains? Or perhaps you'd like the Bat Mitzvah ceremony to take place in an Israeli synagogue, yet how can you find one where you and your family will feel at home?

And if an ancient synagogue is your preference,
or a Galilean hill, where will you get a Torah scroll, a caterer, a rabbi?
These are just some of the questions you'll face in planning a Bar or Bar Mitzvah in Israel. Keshet can help provide the answers.

We believe that a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is not merely a ceremony, but an affirmation of Jewish responsibility and continuity--the essence of the Israel experience--and we apply our know-how and creativity to ensure that it remains a meaningful and unforgettable event for you and your child.

Keshet Bar/Bat Mitzvahs feature:

• Spectacular venues that emphasize the beauty and significance of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony, whether it be on Mt. Scopus,
  overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem, or the Negev's breathtaking Zin Wilderness.
• Services in which which everyone--parents, siblings, relatives, and friends--takes an active part
• "Tzedakah" social action projects that bring home the meaning of Bar/Bat Mitzvah through volunteer activities
  with children at Hadassah Medical Center or with elderly residents of Jerusalem
• Delicious on-site catering, and terrific parties with Israeli musicians who play anything from klezmer to bluegrass

Special adventures such as jeep treks through the desert or a scuba diving lesson in Eilat that make the Bar/Bat Mitzvah experience
even more memorable. Our Bar and Bat Mitzvah programs take into consideration the needs and requests of the families accompanying you,
as well as your Israeli relatives. And if you don't have any Israeli relatives -
but wish you did - Keshet will provide them, as well!
