The Davidovich Bar Mitzvah Family Spotlight

The Davidovich Bar Mitzvah Family Spotlight

Hi All,

The Davidovich Family wanted to incorporate their love of Mixed Martial Arts, specifically UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) into their son’s fall Bar Mitzvah celebration at the Muttontown Club in East Norwich, N.Y.  Their goal was to make UFC apparent throughout the evening without the violence typically associated with the sport.

We think they were able to accomplish these goals and have an intimate, warm party with the help of some very creative Mitzvah Vendors.

We want to thank the Davidovich family for sharing their ideas and photos with Mitzvah Market. We hope their ideas will inspire you for your child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah.

Pictured left: Dad Ric, sister Sophie, Bar Mitzvah boy Sam and Mom Robin. All party photography was done by Chris at Brett Matthews Photography.

A reminder that all Vendor information is at the bottom of this story.


Stamp - Mitzvah Style


While the Davidovich men looked great, we want to focus on the ladies. Mitzvah Mom Robin used Rhonda Marinoff, a personal shopper to help her find her vibrant green Robert Danes dress. Her hair and make-up were done at NV Salon in Huntington, N.Y.  Sister Sophie found her pretty pink dress at Outrageous Kids.

To incorporate the UFC theme, Simphonic Events created a gaming area for the kids that would be the “ultimate” attraction. UFC fights are conducted in a ring known as the octagon, so that was created for Sam’s party. The octagon contained lounge seating as well as extra entertainment including a virtual game arena. Plus there was also another area with green screen photo favors and novelty street signs that could be personalized.

An SED logo (Sam’s initials), as opposed to UFC was used on all signage including staffers T-shirts. Michelle Weissman of Creative Specialties created the logo and also the young guests favors

Stamp - Mitzvah Idea


The Davidovich’s had some very clever ideas that they are sharing with Mitzvah Market:



Robin placecard tree

A tree held the “leaf” placecards

Robin placecards

Mitzvah Mom Robin found these “leaf” placecards online at invitationsbydawn.com

Robin sign-in door

Borrowing an idea from The Barzilay Mitzvah Family Spotlight, Sam’s sign-in door was his bedroom door. It’s now back in his room with the signatures on the inside!

Robin candlelighting

Instead of a traditional candle lighting, all the guests had a candle placed at their seats. When Sam did his candle lighting, all the guests were able to participate
