Return to Bar/Bat Mitzvah Ideas and Primer for Interfaith Families.

 

In March 2006 we asked our readers to share their ideas on ways to include a child’s interfaith heritage and non-Jewish relatives at his or her bar or bat mitzvah. We want to thank everyone who took the time to offer their suggestions.

We would like to thank the following contributors (authors whose work originally appeared in another source include the name of the original publication):

Rabbi Lev Baesh

Helen Mintz Belitsky

We would also like to thank the following contributors to MyJewishLearning.com, whose wisdom and information helped us prepare this packet:

The Bar/Bat Mitzvah Ideas and Primer for Interfaith Families is also available as a PDF document.

Hebrew for "my master," the term refers to a spiritual leader and teacher of Torah. Often, but not always, a rabbi is the leader of a synagogue congregation.
