Milestone birthday speech
Bar mitzvah speech — thirteen years of him, in two minutes
A bar mitzvah speech is the one formal speech most parents ever give about their kid — in front of grandparents, the rabbi, and a table of thirteen-year-olds waiting for you to be embarrassing. The ones that land skip the boilerplate and name the actual boy: the thing he practiced until the walls knew his Torah portion, the trait he carries from someone who isn't in the room anymore, the moment you saw him become serious about something. This drafts it from your real stories — proud without being long, funny without costing him anything.
What helps us write a good one
- ·Who you are to him — parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, older sibling
- ·One story from when he was small that shows who he already was
- ·His Torah portion or haftorah, if you want a line that ties to it (optional)
- ·What the last year of practice actually looked like at your house
- ·A name he carries, or a person he echoes — and what they'd say today
What you might get
“Forty years is a long time to know yourself. Most of us don't get there. James got there at twenty-eight. Which has been, frankly, exhausting for the rest of us…”
How OccasionScribe works
You fill out a structured form (4–6 minutes). The questions are designed to surface specifics — names, stories, tone, what to avoid. Specifics are the whole game; vague answers produce vague drafts.
We use Anthropic's Claude model to produce the first draft, then a programmatic review pass. We say this because you should know. Most buyers don't mind; many find it's the only reason they finally write the thing.
The draft lands in your inbox in 2–10 minutes depending on tier. Priority orders include one free revision. Standard orders: email us if something missed — we'll usually take care of small fixes free.
