What is the bo bayom? Is that basically the party?


Party on his actual hebrew birthday. For us, it was his class and staff party

I think it’s just hiring someone to teach your son how to lein if he is leining the parsha.

Thanks for all this information. We have a bar mitzvah coming up and this is very helpful to make sure we aren’t overlooking anything important.

Another question , Who usually helps write the pshetel (speech)? Is it a Rebbe from the school or another Rabbi?


We ended up using his teacher from the previous year. We had asked other people and they all turned it down. This worked out nicely because he already had a kesher with him. But people told me the father, a family friend, a community speaker, etc are all good choices.

Did you do a separate party for Bo Bayom and a night event after? My son's Bar Mitzvah comes out on Chol Hamoaid Sukkos and we're trying to think of ideas on how to mark the day since we'll be doing the night event after Sukkos.


For us, the night event and Bo Bayom were same thing. It was only class, staff, and immediate family. We did not do a big party for friends/community other than the kiddish on shabbos in shul. but for sure people do

My son wrote his pshetel with an avreich he learns with at our local community kollel. They started their chavrusa the summer before 7th grade.
