I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful parents from the depths of my heart,
for everything that they do for me,
and for all the hard work and devotedness allowing me to grow up as a Ben Torah and yorei Shomayim.
I Daven that Hakodosh Boruch Hu should have only Nachas from me,
and that I will continue on the paths that have been set out for me,
to be a good Jew, faithful to Hashem and his Torah.
That I should grow in Torah and yiras Shomayim, and be zocheh to the posuk (Mishlei 23:25),
Let your father and mother be joyful and the one who bore you rejoice”.
ישמח אביך ואמך ותגל יולדתך
Father:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful father from the depths of my heart.
You are a living example to me of how a Jew should conduct himself.
Thank you for all the devoted hard work and constant investment in me,
in the learning that we do together or anything else,
with the main goal always being that I grow to be a Ben Torah with Yiras Shomayim.

בני אם חכם לבך ישמח ליבי גם אני
Mother:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful Mother from the depths of my heart.
You are a living example to me of yiras Shomayim and mIddos tovos.

I Daven that Hakodosh Boruch Hu should have only Nachas from me,
and that I will continue on the paths that have been set out for me,
to be a good Jew, faithful to Hashem and his Torah. That I should grow in Torah and yiras Shomayim,
as Shlomo ha’Melech says at the beginning of Sefer Mishlei,
“Do not abandon the Torah of your mother”. ואל תיטוש תורת אימך.
My personal bracha to you today is that Hashem should give you the strength to continue to raise me,
together with all the family, and that you should see only Nachas from all of us for many years,
full of health and happiness.
Grandparents:
In addition,
it is a great honour and privilege for me to be able to share this special day with my wonderful grandparents.
We all Daven that you should be blessed with the words of the posuk,
“In your old age you shall remain fruitful, fresh and vigorous shall you be”.
ִעוד ינובון בשיבה דשנים ורעננים יהיו.
May Hashem grant you many more years,
and may we be blessed to share many more simchos together as a family ad meah v’esrim.
Rebbi:
I would especially like to thank my Rebbi,
Rav…. shlita with whom I was zocheh to learn this past year.
You taught me not only how to learn and to enjoy my learning,
but also yiras Shomayim and middos tovos.
The daily investment in my growth is truly evident in me;
b’ezrat Hashem it will stay with me forever.
My bracha to you today is that you have the merit to teach many talmidim,
and continue to raise the children of Yisrael to a life of eternity for many,
happy and healthy years to come.
Guests:
To conclude I would also like to express my appreciation to all of the honoured guests who made such
an effort to come and share my Bar Mitzvah with me.
A special thanks to those who came from out of town and from abroad.
Your effort was worth it, this simcha would not have been the same without you!
May Hashem bless you, that just as you joined me in my simcha,
so should you always be blessed with simchos together with your own families.
