Our family SimchasWe are including some information about our family simchas with some links that helped us.Ronin's Bar Mitzvah My son Ronin was called to become a Bar Mitzvah on Jan. 19, 2002. We are very proud of him! In honor of his Bar Mitzvah, I am posting some information and ideas that
I hope will help other Bar or Bat Mitzvah family members plan their own simcha.
Check out the links on this page for where to buy imprinted kippot, tallits etc. Also see: Chadis Crafts Fun Pages for ideas on making your own tallit, clay covered yads, center pieces, embossing your invitations etc and more! See to see pictures of a tallit I beaded and trimmed for myself. Ronin was very lucky. He received two tallit as presents. A lovely traditional one from my Dad's Rabbi in Chelsea, MA. Plus one from my Dad which Ronin picked out himself at Afikomen-Jewish Books and Art in Berkely CA. It is an unusual hand painted silk.  Ronin in our back yard the spring after his Bar Mitzvah.
I crocheted a thick cotton Jerusalem scene kippah to match. (No don't ask to buy one like this! An act of love...Too much work and sore hand! 
Embossed with music notes. I made many hand crocheted
kippot as gifts for all of the ladies in our family. All of the guests at our evening party rolled beeswax Havdallah candles I had precut for our Havdallah service. See Chadis Crafts fun pages for directions. Also many guests made beaded bracelets and key chains while some others were singing Kareoke. I bought the shalom beads, basketballs and butterfly ceramic beads from Judiaca 1-800-dreidel I also
bought some large plastic star picks, bar mitzvah flag picks and star cup cake
cups from here. Also on this page are pictures of 24 challah covers he painted
and donated to use as
center pieces by our temple. He used fabric paint using a foot pump and blow
pens plus glitter fabric paint. For the evening party, instead of a candle lighting ceremony. We had a family tree ceremony. Lauree at 1800dreidel.com sent me a few presents for Ronin. 10 gold and silver lucite leaves! She knew I was too cheap/broke to buy the full gorgeous tree set she
sells. She sent me the leaves to see what craft I would come up with! The flash
did not work well but here is the first picture.  I bought a gold and silver wooden framed mirror. Micah (age 10) and I (forget my age!) used stain glass paint and gold/plastic stain glass window tape to make a family tree. We listed with markers: both sets of Ronin's grandparents, his father and his siblings, me, plus his brother and his first cousins. We attached with double stick tape. Full directions will be posted on Chadis Crafts Fun Pages soon. Lauree also sent a gold on blue metal magnet with Ronin's bar mitzvah date. What a great idea that would have been about a year ago to send out to future guests to hold the date open! We emailed many to hold that date but many relatives still are not on the net!
