In principle, Bar Mitzvahs are held during the morning prayers (Shacharit), but you can hold the event later if you are not having full services, but just Shema Yisrael and Torah reading. Most Bar Mitzvahs at the Western Wall are held at 9am to 1pm, but some are also held in the afternoon.

Can we hold a Bar Mitzvah at the Western Wall in winter?

When it’s raining you can hold the event only in the Wilson’s Arch, which is covered. You must remember that there might be several events happening simultaneously and the women’s section can get overcrowded. In winter we recommend using an adjacent synagogue and walking down to the Western Wall after the Torah reading.

We recommend brining kippas or sun hats as a souvenir for your guests, hard candy (recommended to freeze the day before) – and don’t forget them on the bus! Water – it can get hot and you don’t want anyone fainting. Tallit and Tefillin – for the father or grandfather – if you haven’t got, we can supply. Umbrellas with the chatan’s name inscribed (in winter). And anything else you can think of!!
