Southeastern Virginia Jewish News.
Advance praise for The Ultimate Bar/Bat
Mitzvah Celebration Book: A Guide to Inspiring Ceremonies and Joyous
Festivities
"It's never easy to balance the
search for meaning and the search for the perfect bar mitzvah caterer.
By taking each search seriously-but not too seriously-Cohen and Weinrott
have created a practical and thoughtful primer for families facing all
the spiritual, esthetic, culinary and financial challenges (as well
as the vexing decision about whether to serve those little cakes with
the kid's name iced on them.)"
- Stephen Fried, author of The New Rabbi
"For many years, most celebrations of becoming bar
and bat mitzvah have either treated the religious ceremony as merely
an excuse for an ostentatious party, or treated the party as a grubby
intrusion on a religious event. With great artistry, Cohen and Weinrott
show how families can take both the synagogue ceremony and the public
party as opportunities for spiritual transformation, ethical growth
and joyful communal coming-together."
- Rabbi Arthur O. Waskow, author of Seasons
of Our Joy: A Handbook of Jewish Festivals, and co-author, with
Rabbi Phyllis O. Berman, of A Time For Every Purpose Under Heaven:
The Jewish Life Spiral as a Spiritual Path
"Cookbook author and well-known Jewish cooking expert
Jayne Cohen and party planner Lori Weinrott teamed up to write The Ultimate
Bar/Bat Mitzvah Celebration Book. Their expertise can help families
plan an event that's both meaningful and memorable - delicious food
included."
- Bon Appetit, April 2004
