Every B’nai Mitzvah family receives a personalized Prayer Map — a page-by-page guide to your child’s entire service, from the Opening Prayers through Havdalah. The map shows every prayer, speech, and honor in the order it occurs, who leads each part, and the page number in the Neshamah prayerbooi where it can be found.

The map is color-coded so you can see at a glance what your child leads (yellow), what belongs to parents (orange), and which moments are open for family and friends to participate as guests (blue). A video link is included for nearly every prayer your child will chant, so they can practice at home on their own schedule.

For parents, the map is also where you assign your honors. Each spot designated for a guest — opening the ark, lifting the Torah, chanting the Torah blessings, leading a responsive reading — is listed with a blank for the honoree’s name. You can fill these in directly in the document at any time, and Rabbi Amy will review all the honors with you at your family meeting and again at rehearsal.

Every English reading and responsive reading in the map is linked directly to the corresponding page on niboca.org, CLICK HERE where guests can view or download their part ahead of time. Only those chanting the Torah blessings are called by their Hebrew names; all other honorees are called by their English names.

The Prayer Map lives inside your family’s B’nai Mitzvah file alongside your child’s speeches, mentor notes, and final checklist. Everything in one place, accessible from any device.
