HOW TO....HOW NOT TO....,
By lbs (Montana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planner (Hardcover)
Humor, sensibility, a down-to-earth approach to collecting event practical tips with respect for tradition and the meaning of the age old significance of the Jewish religion's rite of passage make Emily Haft Bloom's special "How to...How not to..." book a read that I found to be both instructive and constructive

Great book!,
This review is from: The Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planner (Hardcover)
I am currently planning a bar mitzvah and find this book extremely useful. Ms. Bloom provides helpful information on how to plan anything from a simple bar mitzvah to an extravagant bar mitzvah, never losing sight of the true meaning of this rite of passage.
