Like many "coming of age" celebrations, the time a "Bar Mitzvah" reaches 13 is an occasion steeped in tradition. In the Jewish faith, children and any wrongdoings that they commit are the responsibility of their parents. However, there is a point when the child reaches an age where it is responsible for its own actions. The Jewish believe that the Torah, the Jewish bible, commands that this point is reached at age 13 for boys and age 12 for girls. The traditional Bar Mitzvah is very well known. It is often the topic of television shows and movies. Arranging a Bar Mitzvah that is in line with the Hebrew belief yet that is festive doesn't have to put you between a rock and a hard place. By following a few simple tips, you can plan a memorable Bar Mitzvah.

As with most things in life, keeping things simple is a good strategy. After the traditional Bar Mitzvah ceremony and reading, you want a smooth transition to the festivities. Some people hold the "fun" activities at a venue separate from the traditional. Where you choose to hold the celebration will probably depend on the type of celebration you choose. If you plan a less conventional Bar Mitzvah, an outdoor event will do just fine. A great idea for an outdoor Bar Mitzvah is a picnic. You can decorate the area and set up tables for food and drink. For this type of celebration you can have many activities going on at once. If you are more interested in a conservative celebration, a dinner party at an established restaurant is a better idea. Requesting that the restaurant set aside a private area for your celebration, so that guests can dance and sing, is a good idea.

If you opt for a Bar Mitzvah celebration at a restaurant, your food choices will depend on what is available at the restaurant. You have more options when you hold a celebration at a location other than a restaurant. If the Bar Mitzvah will be held at a rented hall or similar location, you can hire a caterer to prepare and deliver your food. Another more personal option is to develop your own menu and have a group of people help you prepare the feast.
