Bar Mitzvah on Masada

  • Why Masada?
    A bar or bat mitzvah is the first milestone in a child's life that will have a lasting impression on the child, and one of the most defining events in a young man or woman's life. That is why now more than ever, many parents and children want to celebrate this occasion in a unique, meaningful setting; instead of having a party at a glittering hall, they seek a location that is significant to the Jewish people. They want this exciting occasion to be just as memorable for the guests and friends who join them on this wonderful journey as it is to the bar/bat mitzvah and their families. This makes Masada the ideal location to celebrate your event.

    The backdrop is picturesque – at the top of the world, at the lowest place on earth, overlooking the most glorious landscapes. This authentic experience incorporates the magnitude of the historical events that transpired here with unique topographic features. Flawless planning and attention to the finest details will transform your event at Masada into a once in a lifetime experience – for you and for the child celebrating this important occasion.


    What does the event include?
    The event will include a variety of elements: entertainers blowing horns to keep the guests on their feet dancing, a tefillin and torah reading ceremony at the ancient synagogue located on the mountain, a rabbi to officiate the ceremony to your liking, separating challahfrom dough in a traditional ceremony, and even a complete music ensemble that will entertain you throughout the event.
    In addition, you can order a delicious meal, an amusing historical performance, or a band that will play music as you and your guests ride the cable car up the mountain.
    The entire event will be documented by skilled photographers that specialize in events at Masada, for a souvenir from an unforgettable celebration.


    Choosing a date for a bar mitzvah on Masada
    Start by opening a diary. Not just a regular calendar, but one that you can use to calculate the exact day on which this joyous occasion falls. Once you have found the date, choose a day to celebrate. If you are celebrating a winter event, the party can be held at any time of the day or evening, either at the top or bottom of the mountain. Fortunately for you, the weather will be on your side. For a summer event, you'll have to plan your party either very early in the morning or late in the evening. The mountain is very hot throughout the day.

    If you like, we can help you expand your event to include tours and accommodations, or an all-inclusive weekend. After the ceremony you can take the young guests on a hike to EinBokek – a short, lovely hike only several minutes away from Masada, while the older guests can choose to stay at the nearby Dead Sea hotels, enjoying the spas and pools or lounging at the beach. Later, you can all meet for dinner and spend the night at a hotel in the region. The next morning, a bus will take you home from this exciting, memorable occasion.
