NOW BOOKING for Fall 2026
WHAT WE DO
Before the B'nei Mitzvah weekend, in the midst of all the excitement, Family Ties creates an intentional pause for families to gather and exchange strands (tzitzit) from their own tallit with the childs tallit–connecting generations into one sacred garment woven with love and tradition.
As the tzitzit are re-tied, each family member offers the child a personal blessing, as we sybolically "tie the blessing into the knots," transforming the tallit into a tangible memory–one that carries family history and meaning into the childs B'nei Mitzvah journey and beyond.
WHY FAMILIES LOVE FAMILY TIES
- Establishes a meaningful beginning to the B'nei Mitzvah expereince
- Strengthens intergenerational bonds through a shared ritual
- Creates a lasting family heirloom rooted in Jewish tradition
- Deepens the childs understanding of their place within the story of the Jewish people and those who came before them
PROGRAM DETAILS
- Held in the family's home or chosen setting
- Approximately 60 minutes in length
- Appropriate for all family structures, backgrounds and denominations
My tallit feels like it has a part of everyone who loves me.
Rachel, Bat Mitzvah Student
