Naomi’s High Energy Bat Mitzvah Party At Congregation Beth Israel Portland Oregon
Naomi’s high energy Bat Mitzvah party took place at Congregation Beth Israel in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, May 20, 2023.
Guests arrived from the ceremony and Havdala held across the street around 6:20pm. I had a variety of music selections playing in the background, but that didn’t last long as the kids were ready for games before dinner, including Naomi trivia and her request that we play Coke and Pepsi. She is a big fan of Taylor Swift, so we changed the team names to Taylor and Swift 🙂
Dinner started around 7pm. With many family members visiting from Detroit, I was asked to play a variety of softer Motown hits as background music for dinner. After Naomi’s parents welcomed everyone and toasted the Bat Mitzvah girl, I invited everyone out to the dance floor for “The Hora” and chair-raising.
The kids were wound up all evening, but the parents joined in as well for a good time dancing to favorites “I Gotta Feeling”, “Dancing Queen”, “Cupid Shuffle” and of course, plenty of Taylor Swift.
Mazel Tov Naomi and thank you mom Marah for choosing PRO DJs.

The Breathe Building Portland Bat Mitzvah
Charlotte’s Bat Mitzvah celebration was held on Saturday, July 30, 2022 at The Breathe Building in Southeast Portland. It was a hot one outside with the temperature near 100 degrees, but fortunately the party was mostly inside the air conditioned room.
I played about 30 minutes of background music before entertaining the kids with games, including a scavenger hunt, musical chairs, Coke and Pepsi and a limbo competiton.
The dining tables were setup outside, but that area was starting to receive some shade by dinner time. Afterwards, everyone came back inside for a toast from the guest of honor’s parents before I opened the dance floor with “Hava Nagila”. The traditional chair raising of Charlotte and her parents followed.
From there, parents and kids had a great time dancing to hit songs such as “Uptown Funk” and “Dynamite”, plus the family’s requests for classics “YMCA” and “Dancing Queen”.
Mazel Tov Charlotte and thank you mom, Deborah for choosing PRO DJs.

Bat Mitzvah The Eleanor Downtown Portland
Audrey’s Bat Mitzvah celebration was held on Saturday, June 18, 2022 at The Eleanor Downtown Portland, Oregon.
The synagogue was only three blocks away and most guests walked to the venue following the service. Upon arrival, background music was playing from a variety of artists including Adele, Glass Animals and Elton John.
Audrey chose not to have any games, so it was just one big dance party that launched with everyone participating for “Hava Nagila” and the traditional chair raising.
Many adults were dancing early in the evening, but at some point the kids took over and never stopped as they enjoyed mostly recent hit songs along with Audrey’s requests for Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, Taylor Swift and more.
Mazel Tov Audrey and thank you mom Amy for choosing PRO DJs.
