And, phase II of the Domain will be open too.  Plans include lots for your guests to do while in town visiting you!

OK, so, just a little prejudiced–when I went in for the site inspection on one of the sample tables, was the Shalom Austin.  And, as many of you know, I’m slightly partial to the cover boy!  (It’s a mitzvah I planned and the photo is by the great Ken Nordhauser).

Did you know the word Bar/Bat Mitzvah is already plural!  It means “Son or daughter of the Commandments?”  To refer to handling more than one Bar/Bat Mitzvah party (or a portfolio) the correct wording is B’nai Mitzvah.

Do you know the right formation for the wedding party at a Jewish wedding?

It’s important for your event planner to know the correct verbiage, cultural aspects, and other important unique details to help you plan your event.
