MAZEL TOV CELEBRITIES' BAR AND BAT MITZVAH MEMORIES

HARDBACK IN WORN JACKET [RAPPAPORT, JILL] CELEBRITIES' BAR AND BAT MITZVAH MEMORIES

From Publisher:

In "Mazel Tov," celebrity journalist Jill Rappaport and photographer Linda Solomon offer an intimate glimpse of the bar or bat mitzvahs of some of the most talented people in entertainment, politics and business. This remarkable book brings together stories and never-before-seen family photos of a variety of public figures, as they look back on their thirteen-year-old selves and reminisce about the celebration that marked their transition into adulthood.

The wonderfully candid interviews in "Mazel Tov" document deeply poignant, and often hilariously awkward, moments in these very public lives. Interviewees include Jeremy Piven, Senator Joseph Lieberman, Marlee Matlin, Richard Dreyfuss, Ronald Perelman, Howie Mandel, Gene Shalit, Harvey Fierstein, Judy Gold, Larry King, Donny Deutsch, Michael Kors, Charles Grodin, Josh and Andy Bernstein, and many others. Their experiences run the gamut: Kirk Douglas decided to be bar mitzvahed twice, while others, like Noah Wyle, always wanted one but never had the chance. There are stories of bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, confirmations, and the only documented "bark" mitzvah, held in honor of two beloved pets. Though the stories vary greatly in their detail, they all express a common appreciation for values and traditions that have been passed down through the generations.

Illustrated with photos pulled from family albums as well as contemporary portraits, "Mazel Tov" is an appealing tribute to the enduring bonds of faith and family.
