The Tehillim Reading Part 11 - The Signing Book

At every bar mitzvah, the parents provide a place for people to write a Mazal Tov message to the Bar Mitzvah boy. Usually it is just a picture of the bar mitzvah kid pasted on a piece of cardboard, with a lot of white space around it for people to sign. We decided to get a book with a picture of me on the front, so that people can sign throughout the whole book. For Yaakov Avdiel's bar mitzvah, my parents had to go out all the way to jerusalem to find a signing book. Fortunately, a new store that sells signing books opened up recently, and it was built right outside Alon Shvut. Therefore for my bar-mitzvah we bought the book without having to drive to Jerusalem. In my opinion, It was a great choice for a signing book and inside were very beautiful comments from all my relatives, friends, and anyone else who signed. Some people just wrote Mazal tov, some wrote am expressive paragraph and some even wrote poems.

Dear Shaltiel,

Not only are you writing a blog, but also a diary and can be used as a manual in the preparation of what to expect when anticipating a Bar Mitzvah. This can serve as a guide in resolving problems in advance and also presenting shortcuts and money saving tips. How is that for an ad?

Dear Shaltiel,

I was not thinking of using Google but developing a small, possibly soft cover book that could have your info in the form of tips, possibly even with pictures and diagrams, if necessary. Of course it has to be practical for both you and the user as far as the cost. There might even be contests where you can utilize your blog info. But before you attempt anything, your parents must be consulted because 13 or not, you are still foremost a devoted son.

Love,
