Mitzvah Project: Melissa Nadler, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY
Five summers ago, I visited Camp Westmont in Poyntelle, Pennsylvania. I instantly fell in love. Not only did they have a beautiful campus, but they also had this amazing arts and crafts program with some really cool projects. I couldn’t wait to go the following summer. As it turns out, camp was even better than I imagined. I made some of my best friends of my life—we are in touch 24/7!
Pictured: Melissa organized her friends and family to each make a tile to raise money for SCOPE.
Four years later, I still think camp is the best place on earth, and in the fall before my Bat Mitzvah, I found a way to incorporate my love of camp into my Mitzvah Project. My mom and I went to Mitzvah Market’s Celebrate! Party Showcase in Westchester to get ideas for my Mitzvah Project and, of course, for the celebration afterwards.
The place was huge, but we came across ArtWare for Good, a charity that sets up art projects to raise money for organizations locally and throughout the world. At first, I thought I’d raise money to help children in Nepal. But then we came up with something that was closer to my heart. ArtWare for Good was about to partner with SCOPE. (SCOPE stands for Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education.) I thought raising money for SCOPE, a charity that helps underprivileged kids go to camp, would be a perfect way to give back. I was also able to combine all of my favorite things—arts and crafts, my friends, and camp—into my Mitzvah Project!
Here’s what I did: At the beginning of February, I invited my friends and family to an “Open House art Party” at my house. They could stop by to create their masterpiece, have a sweet treat, and help make this meaningful idea a reality. I asked my friends to donate $20 each and create a work of art based on the theme of “Fun in the Sun.” For example, my tile had my favorite camp food—s’mores. Every tile was unique: My brother, of course, made one that showed sports, while other friends drew ice cream cones, flip flops, and the ocean. For those people who could not attend the party, the process was easy: They created their artwork at home and just sent it to me. Our artwork was then transferred onto tiles with the help of ArtWare for Good. Ultimately, our designs became part of a tile wall mural that was donated to SCOPE. The mural will be hung in a SCOPE-funded camp in the tri-state area. With just a small donation from each of my friends, we not only created a mural for campers to enjoy, but we provided a child less fortunate than myself to have the opportunity to go to camp, and ultimately enhance his or her life.

The project ended about three weeks before my Bat Mitzvah, so that ArtWare for Good could create the tiles in time for me to present them at my Bat Mitzvah. This experience was so incredible, and I got to share it with so many people from all parts of my life—my school and camp friends, long-time family friends, and relatives. Everyone loved seeing the masterpiece that we created together.
On July 18th, the mural was presented to Camp Herrlich in Patterson, NY
ArtWare for Good helped me with my vision of creating something artistic for the greater good, but their partnership with SCOPE made my project a perfect fit for me. I know from experience that there is no better place to spend a summer than at sleepaway camp. I have been fortunate enough to have had four incredible summers so far at Camp Westmont, and I have learned and grown so much from my experience away from home. Being able to give someone the same kind of opportunity feels so good.

I’m a 13 year old Bar & Bat Mitzvah teen blogger for MitzvahMarket.com and live on the Upper East Side in NYC. I love fashion, soul cycle, theater, hanging out with friends, and cupcakes (I have a blog about them: www.facebook.com/PLCCupcakeClub). My Bat Mitzvah Project is for my dance teacher and friend, Elizabeth Maria Walsh, who died of a rare form of cancer at just 26 years old. Direct message me on Instagram (@carrieberkk) for information on how to donate, and follow me for more fun Bat Mitzvah photos!
When I heard that my friend, Rylie was going to have a Bat Mitzvah, I was positive that the theme was going to be her favorite sport: soccer. Rylie is an intense soccer player, going to practice (including games) 7 days a week, both at her school, and a competitive soccer team! She is one of the most hardworking people I know, and her and her family worked tirelessly to put the celebration together.
I was blown away by the beautiful invitation that came in the mail. It was round shaped, resembling a soccer ball, with the tagline “Kick it with Rylie!” written in graffiti font. I loved how it gave guests a hint as to what the party would be like- soccer with an urban vibe.
The venue was Powerhouse Studios, a Hollywood themed venue with movie props all over the room–there was a life size batman, a handprint wall with Daniel Radcliffe’s signature on it, and even an Oscar statuette! Rylie made sure to strike a pose with the Delorean car from Back to the Future.

As guests entered, they were surrounded by pictures of Rylie being projected on screens, some of her holding her most prized possession: a soccer ball. These photos were shot before the celebration by Deborah Grosmark.
People received a playbook with their seating assignments. It was super clever, and went perfectly with the theme!
Clever place cards
Rylie's friends arriving for her celebration
Attendees also got to sign a giant picture of Rylie holding a soccer ball–all of her friends were sure to leave special messages for the Bat Mitzvah girl!
The tables were also decorated with pictures of Rylie playing soccer, with motivating words such as “endurance, motivation, teamwork.”
The night kicked off with a game of trivia, as Rylie’s friends were challenged to answer personal questions about the Bat Mitzvah girl. They guessed her favorite place to shop, favorite color, and favorite sport (although that one was easy). Prizes included bracelets and necklaces that glowed or had special lighting effects!
Rylie's friends loved the trivia game!
Guests were having a blast, enjoying the different activities that the celebration had to offer. There was a step n repeat to take photos with props–this way, people would have an amazing memory from an amazing night!
The candle lighting display
Rylie with her family
There was also a graffiti station, where trucker hats and soccer balls were both being graffitied, in whatever colors you wanted. I had never seen soccer balls being graffitied at a Bat Mitzvah before–so unique!
For the appetizers, many of Rylie’s favorite finger foods were being served, including egg rolls, pigs in a blanket, pizza bites, and mozzarella sticks–yum! Butlers also served apps to the adults, such as mini reuben sandwiches, BBQ brisket sliders, crab cakes, and spinach empanadas!
Calamari
Boneless chicken
All eyes were drawn to Rylie’s parents, Michele and Cory when they came out to introduce the montage: they were wearing referee and coach shirts. Rylie seemed ecstatic that her parents were so supportive of her soccer passion!
But, Rylie was certainly not wearing her sports outfit on her special night. She was wearing a stunning teal blue beaded dress. She decided to pair this elegant design with an accessory that matched the theme of her special night: adorable teal-striped soccer socks! She also had custom made graffiti sneakers with her favorite things on them: a dog emoji, her iPhone, and a soccer ball, as well as her name, logo, and geometric shapes.

Up for the horah
The main course was absolutely delectable: kids were served Rylie’s faves, which included chicken fingers, mac & cheese, sliders, french fries, and penne vodka.
Adults enjoyed their entree as well: there was both a carving station and an italian station for them. At the carving station, foods such as filet mignon and smashed potatoes were served. At the italian station, classics such as chicken marsala and eggplant rollatini were being devoured.
When it came to dessert, the venue, which supplied the food, truly knocked it out of the park. There were delicious homemade s’mores, and even DIY ice cream sundaes, with a candy bar where guests could choose their toppings! Attendees also ate warm chocolate chip cookies that were straight out of the oven–they were almost as sweet as the Bat Mitzvah girl.

Overall, it was an incredible night, with a theme that perfectly suited Rylie’s personality. Not only the guests had a blast, but Rylie made memories during her celebration that she will never forget. Score!

Are you emoji-obsessed? We are! It’s no surprise to us these cute little digital icons representing emotions, food, sports and anything else you can think of, have made their way into the Bar Bat Mitzvah scene.

We’ve written about Emoji Bar Bat Mitzvah themes and we’ve seen them cleverly integrated into Bar Bar Mitzvah invitations, decor, photo props, desserts and more.

At Sweet Dreams Studio, they provide award-winning Bar & Bat Mitzvah Photography, Video and super fun Photo Booth entertainment.
If you browse their work and read their happy customer testimonials, you can see that everything they do is top of the line. This is because they are driven by sincere desire to capture your best memories and get amazing pictures and video for you.

Sweet Dreams Studios offers one of the best photo booths with social media options. They’ve provided their photo booth at more than 200 parties entertaining thousands of people.
Here are seven tips for having fun with their photo booth at your child’s Bar Bat Mitzvah celebration:
1. The Social Media Station from Sweet Dreams Studio lets guests at your child’s Bar Bat Mitzvah party instantly Email or share their photos to Facebook and Twitter. Your guests will love the idea of instantly sharing their fabulous photo booth pictures with their friends and family on social media!
2. Prop! Props! and More Props! They will bring plenty of fun props, but tell their clients that it’s ok to bring your own sentimental personal props from home that match your party theme. Some examples include: personal hobbies or favorite sports like golf or baseball, movies, achievements, and school activities.
3. Have your DJ make an announcement that your photo booth is open. Also, have your DJ announce the last call for your photo booth 15 minutes before you are ready to close it down, so people know to get in for last minute pictures.
4. Locate a photo booth area that is visible and easily accessible to everyone. For example, the corner of ballroom. Half of the fun is seeing other people being photographed and having fun.
5. Strike a pose. Be creative with poses instead of standing straight up. Be expressive, goofy and use body language to exaggerate the pose.
6. Encourage and invite everyone to jump in photo booth. Goof around with friends and family, these are some of the most fun and best pictures of family and friends at your celebration. Make memories, like Grandparents looking goofy dressed up in wigs and hat props!
7. Make sure to get a sign-in guestbook. This album makes an awesome souvenir of everyone’s pictures to take home and remember the fun party.
