Author Nancy Berk pairs her humor and psychological training to address the common social and parenting dilemmas related to bar and bat mitzvah preparation and party planning. From religious school carpools to the just-in-the-nick-of-time home renovation, this book will take you down the winding road of the bar mitzvah parent and provide you with tips and tactics for strategizing, organizing, and streamlining your overloaded life.

"Secrets of a Bar Mitzvah Mom" will make you smile about adolescent indecision, party meal planning, tablecloth obsession, and the occasional need for airbrush photography. A concise and practical reference, it also illustrates that the bar mitzvah experiences of parents are often amazingly similar. (And for that we can enjoy a sigh of relief.)
