I added Micah's name and the date of his Bar Mitzvah celebration, with the words בר מצווה (Bar Mitzvah in Hebrew) underneath.
I decorated several pages inside the album based on Micah's hobbies. The opening page features a pile of books, since that seems to be the thing that occupies him the most. Next I crafted a paper version of a Minecraft Creeper, followed by some cooking equipment, since he likes to cook up a storm. The final two pages in the album display his school's badge, and then two little glass jars and a test tube, all full of some interesting coloured potions! I added a tallit (a Jewish prayer shawl) to each page, and featured them on the cover too. Traditionally some boys begin wearing the tallit for the daily prayers from the age of Bar Mitzvah, whilst others wait till after marriage.
Whilst Micah's Mum supplied my customer with all the information about her son, she did not know what I was creating. "I am so curious about this present!" she wrote. I hope that both she and Micah were surprised by and pleased with what he received.
