Bat Mitsvah at the Kotel (Western Wall)

Bat Mitsvah at the Kotel (Western Wall)

Are you willing to benchmark your daughter’s Bat-Mitzvah or your son’s Bar-Mitzvah with an unforgettable ceremony, traditional but also egalitarian? You commemorate this happy event either in France or abroad but you want to mark this event also in Israel, with your family and your friends? You live in Israel and you wish to commemorate this event in a personal way, at the Massorti Kotel (also referred to as Ezrat Israel) in an egalitarian synagogue or in another symbolic place? Would you like all members of your family and your friends to take part in this family event, and that the service would incorporate the different family traditions, your own personal values and your son or daughter affinities? It would be my pleasure to help you organize this very happy event and lead the ceremony.


Working with Rabbi Stessin on my son’s bar mitzvah was a delight! She is a lovely person who bonded quickly with my son from a distance and created a happy atmosphere on site the day of our celebration. Rabbi Stessin collaborated nicely with our synagogue in Dallas and our tutor to ensure our son was prepared. I happily recommend Rabbi Stessin for a family planning a bnei mitzvah ceremony in Israel.
