A bar mitzvah is a rite of passage for a young man and his entire family. At many bar mitzvahs, it's customary for the father of the bar mitzvah boy to stand before all attendees and say a few words to honor and commemorate the occasion.
Writing a bar mitzvah speech can be challenging. Poems-To-Go can offer you the skills of our dedicated, experienced, professional writers who, working from information that you provide, can craft a toast that touches on all the points you wish to make. In addition, we can touch funny bones as well as hearts.
The speech is usually anywhere from three to five minutes in length. We find a 3 - 4 minute speech works best for bar mitzvahs. Here is a sample speech we prepared for the Hammersteins. "We are thrilled with it! Thank you so much. Everytime I try to read the last 2 paragraphs out loud I wind up in tears!" - Much appreciated, Ralph and Selma
A bar mitzvah father's speech can mix humor with tenderness, nostalgia with a glimpse at a bright future for the boy who, on this special day, has, by Jewish law, become a man. A bar mitzvah speech from parents (the speech can be delivered by a mother as well as by a father) is often a highlight of that very special day.

A Parent's Bar Mitzvah Speech Example
This is a very big day for the Hammerstein family. Our wonderful son, our only son, Craig Allen Hammerstein, is today a bar mitzvah. According to Jewish culture and custom, that means that today our Craig is a man.
And while we're proud and thrilled to acknowledge this wonderful rite of passage in our son's life, and while we have no doubt whatsoever that Craig possesses the strength of character, the impressive intellect and the glorious compassion that it takes to be a real adult in this world, we can't help but wonder at where the time goes. By Jewish law he is a man, yes. By our own stupefying familial recollection, he was just a little boy, it seems, days ago.
The subject of Craig as a little boy is a rich one in our family and our house. As far as our son is concerned, music ruled the roost back in those days. Craig loved music right from the start, and his favorite song of all was "Achey Breaky" by Billy Ray Cyrus. He would listen to that same song over and over again. And then over and over again some more. But that's not the half of it. Then he found a VCR tape that featured a dance by someone or something called "The Biggles." Well, Craig would watch it non-stop. Then he would watch it and do the dance and sing to it
non-stop. Best of all, as far as the rest of us were concerned, we would ALL have to sit on the couch and watch him -- but no one else was allowed to join in or sing along. Heaven help us if we did dare to participate, Craig would, at the top of his little lungs, shout "Stop!"
and then he's start his singing and dancing all over again.
One time, when Craig wasn't listening to music or dancing or singing, he struck gold. In a Craiger of speaking. This was on a family trip to Las Vegas when Craig was about 8 years old. He and his Uncle Benjamin were sitting by the pool at the hotel when, all of a sudden, a parade of gorgeous bikini-clad women -- gorgeous bikini-clad YOUNG women -- began to march by in what seemed to be an endless line. And the bikinis these young women wore? They were something altogether new to Craig -- and maybe to Uncle Don. They were THONG bikinis. It turned out the girls were all contestants in the "Hawaiian Tropic" suntan oil contest. And on that rarefied day, the only thing bigger than the hot Vegas sun that was shining down was the pair of grins you could see on the faces of little Craig and his big Uncle Don.
A kid that loves good music and pretty girls
what could be bad about him? Actually, in the case of Craig, he happens to be pretty darn good in all kinds of ways. He's truly special in our lives
for all of us, his Mom and Dad, and his sisters, Ellen and Jill, who love him dearly and, in turn, are loved just the same by their brother, too.
On all counts, Craig is kind and caring, sweet and lovable
and a whole lot of fun. He's opinionated and stubborn, too, so we, his two lawyer parents, think he has the makings of a third Hammerstein lawyer. Given Craig's self-imposed and strict as all out moral standards, there's a good chance that as a lawyer he'd start out as a prosecutor, just like his Mom. But in time, when he realizes that he has to eat, and to feed a family of his own to boot, he'll probably make the switch and become a criminal defense attorney
like his Dad. Of course, in the LONG, long run, we wouldn't be shocked to see him wind up as a District Attorney altogether.
Meanwhile, in these, his pre-law days, Craig's a happy seventh grader at the Newton Middle School. He's into sports big time, enjoying basketball, tennis, swimming, surfing and handball. And he's crazy about traveling. Our family has already journeyed through Europe, Israel and all across the United States. And when he's not traveling, Craig loves, among other activities, spending time with his loving Nanny and Papa and with all of his wonderful aunts, uncles and cousins. And now that he's a man, we can officially designate "Flash" Max's beloved black lab and greyhound mix as "this man's best friend."
Craig, on this, your big day, we can only reaffirm our love for you, the joy you give us, and the admiration that we have always felt, as you continue to grow from a wonderful boy into a wonderful man.
If there's any complaint that we might register at all it's simply that the process of your growing up, of life itself, is just too quick. But we are heartened by the fact that a long and wondrous life lies ahead of you and the future is bright indeed. With a heart and a mind and a soul like yours, you'll accomplish anything you set yourself to. Be healthy, be happy, be positive, be productive. And even though today you are indeed a man, we hope that always, in just a teeny-tiny part, perhaps, you'll remain our little boy. We love you, son, very, very much.
