Custom Bar/Bat Mitzvah Officiation and Education in South Florida and Destinations Worldwide
Becoming B’nai Mitzvah is a powerful milestone—but for many families, the traditional path doesn’t fit their child’s needs, learning style, or spiritual identity. I specialize in creating customized, meaningful Bar/Bat/B’nai Mitzvah experiences that honor your child exactly as they are.
Whether your child is neurodiverse, musically inclined, spiritually curious, anxious in new situations, or simply thrives outside of a conventional synagogue setting, I offer a supportive approach that makes this journey accessible and empowering.
A Personalized B’nai Mitzvah Experience Designed Around Your Child
Every student deserves to feel confident, celebrated, and connected. My approach blends:
• Neurodiversity-affirming teaching
As a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) with years of experience working with ADHD, autism, learning differences, and emotional challenges, I tailor each lesson to your child’s needs. We build skills step-by-step, using evidence-based strategies that help them stay engaged, motivated, and successful.
• Music-centered learning
If your child is musically oriented—or hesitant about Hebrew—music becomes the gateway. I use singing, rhythm, movement, melody, and call-and-response to make prayers intuitive and enjoyable. Many students discover that the musical approach helps them retain Hebrew more easily and connect spiritually on a deeper level.
• Flexible & untraditional pathways
Not affiliated with a synagogue? Need a non-traditional format? Prefer a smaller service or something outside the sanctuary? I support families who want:
Home-based, outdoor, or destination B’nai Mitzvahs
Intimate, meaningful ceremonies with family and friends
Services shaped around your values, culture, and spiritual identity
Creative alternatives to the typical Saturday morning model
Whether you want something soulful, musical, nature-centered, or modern and minimalist—I craft a service that feels authentic to you.
Destination & Travel-Friendly B’nai Mitzvah Services
Dreaming of a mountaintop, beachfront, or travel-inspired B’nai Mitzvah? I officiate destination ceremonies worldwide and help you plan a seamless ritual experience no matter the location. From Miami beaches to national parks, boutique venues, and intimate vacation rentals, I bring everything needed to create a sacred, joyful moment wherever you gather.
Spiritual Depth Without Pressure or Guilt
B’nai Mitzvah learning should feel grounded, uplifting, and emotionally safe—never stressful or intimidating. My teaching emphasizes:
personal meaning
gratitude
inner confidence
emotional expression
spiritual curiosity
We focus on what truly matters: your child discovering their voice, identity, and place in the Jewish story.
