B'nai Mitzvah Announcements
Shabbat Bulletin
The Bulletin acknowledges your child’s milestone and includes a high-quality head shot, a biography, and dedications.
Dedications: The names of parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins will be printed in the bulletin at no charge, listed alphabetically by last name and not by relationship in honor of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Only those who are still living should be included in that listing. A single dedication in honor of the clergy, your child’s tutor, and their B’nai Mitzvah partner can also be included at no charge. For any additional donations acknowledged in the bulletin, there is a minimum charge of $18 per name honored or remembered ($36 for couples if listed together). Names will be printed exactly as submitted.
Submission Deadlines: Families should submit information for the B’nai Mitzvah 3-4 weeks prior to the event, and friends and family should submit during the week prior to the ceremony. Online submission is highly encouraged for all donations, and families will have the opportunity to proof the bulletin during the week of their Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
Sample Bulletin: February 9, 2024 | August 16, 2024
The Message
This monthly newsletter also highlights your child’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah, using the same photograph as in the bulletin, along with an abbreviated family listing that can include parents, siblings, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Names listed here can be living or deceased. The abbreviation z”l will be included after the names of loved ones who have passed.
Submission Deadline: First Friday of the month prior to publication.
Digital Monitors in Lobbies
A Mazel Tov message will be displayed on monitors within the synagogue, featuring the same head shot.
Submission Deadline: All requirements will have been received by the earlier publication deadlines, so no further submissions are necessary.
Calendar Event
These events are generated at the beginning of the program year and populated about a month prior to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration, again using the same head shot and biography. Submission Deadline: All requirements will have been received by the earlier publication deadlines, so no further submissions are necessary.
