The Candle Lighting ceremony - Poems Stress & Reading
Written by Doctor Simcha   


The Candle lighting Poem Stress

  • The candle lighting poems are one of the matters people get most stressed about. It is overwhelming. Take a deep breath and relax a little.

  • "This one's for you: Poems for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah Candle Lighting Ceremony" is a good book that makes writing a candle lighting ceremony poem easier, with efficient directions and examples. The book is a also good in releasing the stress, and for that alone it is priceless.

  • Bar Mitzvah Poems Book
    If you don't feel like coming up with so many poems, there are other alternatives, nothing is obligatory. Here are a couple of ideas:

    • Read a general poem at the beginning of the ceremony, which may mention each of the honorees, and then call them up one by one. The ceremony will go then It a little quicker.

    • Write a few lines about each honoree, why they are so special and interesting state facts about them. Call the names with a nice story about the person, how they helped you or made you laugh, a short explanation of who they are, etc.

    • Have the MC call the names of people, one by one. The Doc says: "Boring!"

Reading the Poems

  • Print the poem on a pretty paper. Having the poem written lessens the tense of standing up in front of the crowd. Don't worry, it will pass perfectly!

  • Read the poem aloud several times before the party. Rehearse, and it will be a tremendous success.

  • Now that you have the everything ready, all you have to do is not mumble 

  • Don't forget to have a handkerchief at hand. The poem often brings tears to the eyes. Get some napkins for the guests too. Some of the poems do not leave a dry eye in the house.

  • Keep well the poem after the simcha. You will treasure it forever.

In an effort to relieve the stress, make sure your band or DJ knows that you plan to have a ceremony. Plan what songs they should play for each candle and make sure they have an extra microphone for the bar or bat mitzvah. Consult with a professional if you find yourself having difficulty putting the ceremony together.
