A bar or bat mitzvah video montage made by everyone who loves them
The best part of a b’nai mitzvah montage was never the baby photos — it’s the voices. Nachas collects short video wishes from grandparents, cousins in Israel, the Hebrew school teacher and the kids’ table, and turns them into one reel your child will watch for years.
Start collecting wishes — freeHow it works
Add your child’s name and the date. Two minutes, free.
Drop it in the family group chat a few weeks out — grandparents and far-away relatives first.
At the party, every table gets a card with its own prompt. Guests scan, record, done.
What to ask your guests
Every invite and QR table card can carry its own prompt. A few that work well:
Tips for making it great
- Send the link three to four weeks before the service, so relatives who can’t travel still make the reel.
- Ask the rabbi, cantor, tutor and Hebrew school teacher personally — their wishes are often the ones kids treasure most.
- If the celebration is on Shabbat, many guests won’t use phones. Collect wishes in the weeks before, and set the table cards out at the Saturday-night or Sunday party.
- Play a few wishes during the party, or save the whole reel as a gift for after the simcha.

Questions
Can relatives who can’t attend still send a wish?
Yes — that’s often who sends the most moving ones. Anyone with the link can record from anywhere, before or after the simcha.
Does it work for a joint b’nai mitzvah or twins?
Yes. Use both names when you create the event, and guests will see them both on the invitation page.
Can Nachas help with the parent speech too?
Yes. Nachas also helps parents write the bar or bat mitzvah speech, grounded in your child’s Torah portion.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests tap your link or scan the QR card on their table, record up to 30 seconds in their phone’s browser, add their name and send. Most are done in under a minute — no app, no account.
