Bar/Bat Mitzvah & Hanachat Tefilin Date Request

Dear Parents, We are pleased to announce the creation of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah calendar. The calendar will be managed by BMA with the goal of maintaining an organized system for parents to inform the BMA community of their child’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Please note that this is a service for parents to plan their simchas and we ask parents to communicate with each other should a conflict in date arise.  This is separate from the PTA-sponsored school calendar that is printed at the beginning of the year. It is also separate from the calendars that are managed by Shuls. Please keep the following guidelines in mind: Dates are added to the calendar on a first-come, first-served basis Either the whole grade should be invited to a party or all the boys/girls in the grade Parties on the same day are not considered a conflict, as long as they do not overlap in time If a Bar Mitzvah & Bat Mitzvah overlap, they are not considered a conflict as long as only the same gender is invited to each party Two Bar Mitzvahs from boys in different grades or two Bat Mitzvahs from girls in different grades are not considered a conflict Bar/Bat Mitzvah sweatshirts may not be worn in school Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations outside of school: Please complete this form to add your child’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah party date and/or Bar Mitzvah Shabbat celebration to the calendar. We suggest viewing the calendar prior to booking a celebration The Bar/Bat Mitzvah calendar may be viewed here (open on a laptop/desktop) A staff member will share a Dvar Torah and words of Bracha after Tefilah for each child the week before their Bar/Bat Mitzvah Donuts may be provided by the family for all students in the grade following a child’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration. Donuts may be purchased at: Kosher Dunkin Donuts: 3951 Stirling Rd., Davie FL 33312 Krispy Kreme: 530 NE 167th St., North Miami Beach FL 33162 Any packaged donuts with an acceptable Kosher symbol listed in the student/parent handbook may be purchased. Hanachat Tefilin: Please email Yael Greenberger (ygreenberger@brauser.us) if you would like to schedule a Hanachat Tefilin on a school day. If you previously submitted a request for a Hanachat Tefilin date, please email Yael with the details to confirm availability and details. Family members are welcome to join Tefila on the day of their son’s Hanachat Tefilin. For security purposes, please include guest names in your email. Please note that, during this time, only two family members may attend. Family members must be masked while indoors. We will communicate with you when additional family members may attend. Mazal Tov! We look forward to celebrating many smachot together!
