The Bar/Bat Mitzvah Memory Book
An Album for Treasuring the Spiritual Celebration
By Jeffrey K. Salkin and Nina Salkin
Jewish Lights Publishing; 2 Exp Upd edition: 2006
ISBN: 1580232639

Book Description:

The perfect gift to help a bar or bat mitzvah preserve the spiritual memories of this sacred event. This hands-on album is designed to help everyone involved better participate in creating the spiritual meaning of this joyful rite of passage.

Created by Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin--author of the award-winning classic Putting G-d on the Guest List: How to Reclaim the Spiritual Meaning of Your Child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah--and his wife, author Nina Salkin, this guided album is a wonderfully interactive way to remember important moments and details. Included are special sections to record your family's spiritual history, the hopes, wishes and memories of influential people in the bar / bat mitzvah's life, mitzvot performed, contributions to tzedakot, and more.

With ample space for writing, reflecting, and pasting in mementos, The Bar / Bat Mitzvah Memory Book gives young people a place to treasure their special experiences and encourages them to prepare for spiritual life as Jewish adults.
