In addition to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony in one of the city’s oldest synagogues, your stay may include a visit to the Jewish Museum, the brand-new Holocaust Museum, the Anne Frank House, and a walk through the former Jewish Quarter.

B’nei Mitzvah Leah & Nathaniel
A massive thank you to you! It was the perfect BM for our family - and the children of course. My parents and aunties thought you were wonderful and that your service was so warm, thoughtful, happy and festive.

Bat Mitzvah Valerie
Thanks for all you have meant to Valerie and us along the way to the big day and on the day of the Bat Mitzvah itself.
A Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a Rite of Passage
A Rite of Passage is a moment of awareness and of looking for answers. What does it mean to be Jewish? What does it mean to become the daughter or son of the mitzvah?
It is Marcella's privilege to explore these questions with your teenagers. She takes particular care to accommodate interfaith or unaffiliated families, as well as single-parent families.
