The bar mitzvah dates
back to the Middle Ages and is a rite of passage for a Jewish boy. This is the
time when he now becomes a young adult in the community.
Requiring many years of Hebrew School, at age thirteen, the young man is
ready to stand before the congregation and read his Haftorah Portion. Are you
trying to come up with the perfect speech?
I'd be happy to help you! From a
candle lighting ceremony, to a heartwarming
speech from the parents, yours will be treasured by all.
Here's a true-to-life speech from a very proud father to his son. "Dear
Amy, I'm beaming from head to toe over this speech. It's just what I wanted. I
just couldn't find the right words. Thanks to you, that problem is solved. Much
appreciated, Elliot"
Just wish to say a few words? Try a little
toast or a bar mitzvah poem.
Your speech is constructed from information that you provide in our speech
questionnaire which will be sent to you upon receipt of your
order. They range from one minute to five minutes in length. Usually we
find that a 3 minute speech works best for bar mitzvahs.

Example of a Bar Mitzvah Speech
It's almost a religious law. As the father of the
bar mitzvah boy, I am entitled to kvell - or to
burst with pride -- for my son, Billy.
Of course, pride in a son like Billy is by no means
limited to his bar mitzvah day. Billy is the kind of
son…the kind of person…who instills love and pride
in me every day. That's just the way he is.
Who is Billy? Who is this fellow who now, according
to the laws and custom of his faith, is today and
forevermore a man? I'm happy to tell you.
Billy is a 13 year old with a soul that's utterly
warm and boundlessly sensitive. He's sweet and
caring, and filled with the kind of empathy that,
well, if it were more commonplace, the world would
be far safer and saner and happier than it is at
this late date. Billy simply hates to see anyone in
pain -- be it physical, emotional or otherwise.
He is as kind as can be. His way is to help out
whenever possible. In any way he can.
He's as generous as he is earnest. He'll give freely
of his heart, of his possessions, to help someone
who is truly in need.
He is at all times aware, alert and sensitive to the
moods and needs of others. His heart is gigantic and
expansive. His character continues to grow, by leaps
and bounds, in all the ways that count the most.
And best of all, Billy is blessed with a marvelous
sense of humor. No doubt it's a function of his
sensitivity, his implicit understanding of whom
people are and what, at the moment, they might need.
It's astounding, really, the way Billy can enliven
others. At get togethers he's a warm and live wire,
of mirth and soul and laughter. And, if I might add,
with a joyous observation that's truly a father's
pride, I am thrilled at how utterly charming and fun
and warm Billy is when females are present. That's
my boy!
Then again, no. As of today, that's my MAN, my son,
Billy.
He's really into sports in a big way. He'll watch
just about any kind of sporting event and he really
gets into it. As a participant, he's into baseball,
basketball, tennis, darts, pool, gymnastics -- in
which his big sister, Lexi, is most active -- and
soccer…a particular -- and growing favorite.
I know that a bar mitzvah is essentially a religious
rite -- a passage from boyhood to manhood, the
ascension of a new and viable member of the tribe.
But it's also about character, values and morals.
And on that note, I can say with full confidence
that Billy the boy had all these categories covered
with quality. Billy the man will cover them as well.
His character and his soul, are beautiful and
admirable. May his future be as bright as his
boundless heart. I think it WILL be.
This issue of character is critical in life. And I'm
thrilled that Billy has always had a number of role
models who served him well by showing, through
example, the way to be, the way to go through life.
In particular, I wish to acknowledge some very
special friends of mine, Barry Rubenstein, Charles
Roemer and Larry Starr.
Of course, family means the world as well. And I
joyfully acknowledge my wife, Judith, my daughter,
Billy's sister, June and Billy's loving
grandmothers, Ida and Sara. You're all wonderful,
and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Billy, son, on this, your bar mitzvah day, you sit
at the confluence of departing boyhood and emerging
manhood. This is an exciting time, and a wonderful
day. I'm filled with pride for you, my son. And best
of all, I'm filled with love.
