Journey of Future Blessings
A Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration is always accompanied by good wishes: for happiness, self-realization, health etc.….
During this celebration instead of reading written wishes, the day’s trip is centered around the actual, real essence of each blessing and good wishes. The B’nai Mitzvot experiences this physically, mentally and of course in their hearts.
“The Journey of Future Blessings” takes the B’nai Mitzvah child and their guests through a variety of challenging tasks. At each station of the journey, there is a task that focuses on a particular blessing. All along the journey, from station to station, these good wishes are collected by the B’nai Mitzvah with the help of the participants. These are the blessings and good wishes that will accompany them in their future (for example: bravery, wisdom, resourcefulness, ingenuity, friendship, responsibility, creativity, independence….)
At each station there is an envelope with parts of a collage puzzle with photos of the Bar / Bat Mitzvah. At the end of all the assignments, we create a circle to sum up the assignments. The Bar / Bat Mitzvah will be given the final piece of the puzzle with his parents’ blessing.
