[HANASHIR:10769] Re: help with fees for bar mitzvah

[Lynda Casden <lyndaC...>]

Marjorie:
If you are leading the Bat Mitzvah service the price can range from $200-300. If
you are sharing the service with a soloist or Cantor it can range from $100-200.
Most of the time it is best to talk to the Temple and see what is customery.
Temples have their own minhag. That is my suggestion. Good Luck!
