(January 22, 2021 / JNS) As the coronavirus pandemic continues to keep Jewish services and life-cycle events smaller in size, many Jewish families are grappling with letting go of long-held expectations about the bar or bat mitzvah celebration they imagined for their child.
To that end, Moving Traditions has published a new guide to facilitate the transition.
From Zoom mitzvahs to car mitzvahs to other alternative formats, the organization’s staff has collected best-practice ideas from parents, clergy and Jewish educators about ways to celebrate the coming-of-age milestone in 2021.
