It’s reality check Sunday here. Sitting out in the near future (excuse or enjoy the metaphor) like a giant Matzah ball is 11.5′s Bat Mitzvah. We know the date, we’ve known it for more than a couple of months. Still today was the official “kick-off” meeting at the temple for parents with children getting Bar or Bat Mitzvah in 2013.
And so the clock officially starts to tick.
Ready or not. We’ll have to pull a list together and figure out where to have the party (11.5 wants the full-on event, as of now 9.0 is thinking a nice get away). While 11.5 learns the prayers, Torah and Haftarah portions, we’ll also have to figure out flowers, invitations, party favors, party entertainment, dresses, shoes and I am sure a myriad of other stuff.
Some of it I am probably pretty qualified to help out with. I’m pretty sure I can help 11.5 with her speech and her Mitzvah project. I am reasonably sure on the actual party planning and finding the right entertainment package.
Flowers and dresses-well that’s going to be a problem.
Seating arrangements? There are still people who remind me how unhappy they were about seating at my wedding.
Then there is the other issue that I have to sort out-how to invoke Risa but not make it the focus of the event.
Ready or not, here we go.
