BarBat Mitzvah Details and Honors

FOR BAR or BAT MITZVAH:

We would appreciate if you take a moment to complete this form that gives us information about yourself including what name will be used on your certificates and prayer book, and so that the congregational leaders who will be presenting you with gifts will have some things as background for your presentation. (For example, they can say that they have known your family for generations, and know that you love reading… or whatever.)
DETAILS ABOUT YOUR BAR/BAT MITZVAH:
Rabbi Jana can help fill this in
DETAILS ABOUT YOUR NAME:
The name you like people to call you
Please write your name the way you want it to appear on the prayerbook and certificates that we give you. For example, you may want just your formal first and last names, you may want first and middle and last names, or you may want the name you like to be called plus your last name - but no middle name, etc. 
Include your parent's Hebrew names. Rabbi Jana can help with how it is spelled in Hebrew.
