Mitzvah Slideshows to Celebrate Your Child

The Bar or Bat Mitzvah simcha comes just once in a lifetime. Whether at home, your Temple, or a banquet hall or hotel, playing a slideshow at the party can help celebrate your child’s coming of age in the Jewish faith and community. A slideshow is one of the best Bar Mitzvah party ideas – emphasis on the word ‘party!’ Our best Bat Mitzvah projects have an element of fun including upbeat music, candid photos, and even adorable video footage of your child as a baby.

“The best part was going in for the editing after I had seen the first draft and being met with responsive, can-do, positive feedback. This is NOT always the case after someone puts in a lot of time at the first go-around, which Anne clearly had. Hands down, a terrific experience. Worth every cent!”

Slideshows as Unique as your Son or Daughter:

Bar Mitzvah Montages

The Bar Mitzvah video montage could include footage from your son’s soccer games or pictures of the artwork he has made throughout the years — it’s key to include anything that is important to him. From family and friends to hobbies, and even what he wants to be when he grows up. And if you’re not ready to see your little boy grow up, baby pictures are always good for a touch of nostalgia and perhaps a little embarrassment.

Bat Mitzvah Montages

Consider home movies of your daughter’s dance recital or softball practice for her Bat Mitzvah slideshow. Does she have a favorite song? We can include it in the soundtrack for her video montage! From messy high-chair photos to sleepover videos, anything that shows your daughter growing up is a great way to make her Bat Mitzvah party one of a kind.

B’NAI mitzvah

B’nai Mitzvah Montages

EverPresent crafts video montages for B’nai Mitzvah parties, too! When picking the best photos and videos, plan ahead with other parents so each Bar and Bat Mitzvah gets the same amount of attention. Your montage might feature a mix of each family’s photos scattered throughout, or each child could get his or her own unique section of visuals and favorite tunes.

mitzvah memories, mom and daughter — Relive the best memories from their first 13 years

As is the case with birthday slideshows, a typical Bar Mitzvah video montage includes key moments from the guest of honor’s life. Any clips or pictures of first steps or school plays will capture your child’s years before the event. You could even sort these media chronologically to tell their story in a linear fashion. What you should consider when planning your slideshow:

The Bar/Bat mitzvah’s favorite colors, moments and hobbies
Important family members and friends to include photos/videos of
Energetic music and transitions to match the party’s excitement
Use baby photos sparingly, don’t embarrass your child on the big day!
For B’nai Mitzvahs, find common interests among each child to establish a theme

Common questions about Bar/Bat Mitzvah slideshows

When and where should I display my Bat Mitzvah’s slideshow?

We know the answer depends on religious and personal preferences. We deliver the montage on your choice of DVD or flash drive, so most venues and homes have the right equipment to play them on-site. Some Bat and Bar mitzvah celebrations take years to plan, so try not to wait until the last minute!

How long should my B’nai Mitzvah video montage be?

The length depends on how much material you want included, but we generally recommend a run-time of 10-15 minutes.
Anything longer and you run the risk of losing people’s attention. Some of our video montages are a simple 10-minute feature of roughly 175 photos set to music. And others incorporate video, more advanced edits, effects, transitions and timing, which can add another 3-5 minutes to the finished product.

What effects can my Bar Mitzvah’s video montage include?

We can include text and title slides with different fonts and colors that fit your son or daughter’s personality. To make a high-energy slideshow, we offer unique and dynamic transitions between videos and photos so nothing seems drawn out or boring. Our slideshow designers are also advanced photo editors, so we can remove distracting objects to keep your child as the focus of the event.
