[HANASHIR:17029] Havdalah Bat Mitzvah follow-up

[Scott Shuster <scott_shuster...>]

Hi Everyone,
 
Several months back I posted to the list for ideas and guidence about doing a 
Havdalah Bat Mitzvah, and I thank y'all for the responses.
 
The event occurred this past weekend, and I'm happy to report that it was a 
lovely ceremony.  It started at 4:30 (during Shabbat) and ended around 6:00 in 
perfect time for a touching Havdalah service.  
 
I did "Miriam's Song", Craig's "Ein Kamocha", Dropkin's "R'tzei", and Mah 
Tovu's "Parent's Prayer" (which fits in perfectly after the parent's speech), 
along with "Hinei Ma Tov", "Shalom Rav", "Oseh Shalom", and "Etz Chaim Hi".  
After the Bat Mitzvah component, we transitioned into Havdalah with Debbie's 
"Havdalah Bruchot", "Elihahyu Hanavi", and Kol B'Seder's "Shavua Tov".
 
The congregation is very small and shares space in a local church.  They have 
no cantor.
 
Anyway, I just wanted to say "Thank You" for the help and support.
 
B'Shalom,
 
Scott Shuster
