Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso
Reminds our young people that becoming b'nai mitzvah is less about the quality of their performance than about the quality of their lives. It is an important contribution in helping our youth make coming of age a sacred passage. (Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso (Reconstructionist), author of In God's Name; God's Paintbrush; and other books)
And I liked what this Amazon reviewer said:
"In the frenzy of preparing for the big day, it can be easy to lose the focus and meaning of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Many kids may wonder "What is this really all about? Why am I doing this?" This inspiring, clearly-written book urges kids to think about the deeper meaning of the ceremony and of being a Jew. The emphasis is on spirituality and being mindful of God's presence everyday. I especially liked the section with suggestions and resources for acts of tzedakah as well as little mitzvahs."
Here are links to both the adult and child versions:
