    Mazel Tov to your son and your whole Mishpachah. I have to say that your son sounds like a great kid, someone other kids would be happy to call 'friend'. I also want to say that you are a great dad. Not only for always being there with him, but for NOTICING. Those three moments you described could have passed by as just ordinary events in the course of the day. But you noticed and marked them in your memory as the special small milestones that they were. Being noticed and appreciated is one of the things that helps children grow and thrive. Good for you for supporting your son in such a meaningful way.

    Now, I have to go pull out my own Bat Mitzvah photo album, lol.

    That was awesome. I did not have a good relationship with my father, but I am sure your son will treasure this speech all his life. Well done.

    :flowerforyou: That is so beautiful and although I am not Jewish I will say something similar to my son when he reaches a major milestone. I'll say bits of it to him now. Hope his Bar Mitzvar is a joyous one. Mazel Tov:flowerforyou:

    That was amazing and so thoughtful!!

    I think you're doing a brilliant job and that speech was very heartful and if there were was a dry eye in the house after that I'd be amazed! Its so nice to see people talking about their families and milestones in their lives as there some times can be a lot of harshness on this site!! :) Sending you and your family best wishes :)

    The topic is clearly marked: "Topic: My speech to my son on his bar mitzvah day". Why did you click on it? You think MFP has limited space and he's taking up too much of it?

    Because he is very proud of his son. Read it and you'll understand.

    OP: thanks for sharing, good children are very rare these days. "naches foon kinder is tayere vi geld" comfort from children is more precious than gold.

    This. Mazel tov! What a great post to read.
