Hudson Terrace Bat Mitzvah

Updated: 03/15/2018 by David Swirsky

Bat Mitzvah at Hudson Terrace

Contrary to popular belief you can have an outstanding Bar/Bat Mitzvah without being over the top. You don’ t need to have every type of entertainment under the sun in order for your guests to have fun. If you have the right people at your event guests will have a blast. Look at the photos and videos below of guests having the best time and all we provided was DJ, MC, Dancers, Karaoke, Magician and a Photo Booth!

Havdalah Service

The party began with the Bat Mitzvah girls dad leading the service by first saying a few words and then playing guitar to some lovely sing along able Jewish Songs. Havdalah is a Hebrew word meaning “division” or “separation” and is the name of this ritual that formally ends Shabbat, “separating” it from the beginning of the new week. Havdalah is a short, participatory service infused with music, symbols, and meaning.

The Horah

The Horah became popular in group dances throughout Israel, and at weddings and other celebrations by Jews in Israel, the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. The dance appeared in North America in the early 20th century, well before modern Israeli independence, brought directly from Eastern Europe by Jewish immigrants.

At bar and bat mitzvahs, it is customary to raise the honoree, and sometimes his or her family members, on a chair during the horah. This is also done at many Jewish weddings, following the Israeli tradition.

Look how much fun the Horah was at this Bat Mitzvah!

KARAOKE

There is no activity more inclusive then Karaoke. We have a long and very successful history of providing Karaoke at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs where the kids absolutely love it. No one is singled out. It’s done as a group to every song you can imagine from songs from Hamilton to Bruno Mars! Check out the videos from this amazing Bat Mitzvah!
