Question 21.7.6:
B'nai Mitzvah: I need to speak at my child's bar/bat mitzvah? What do I say?

One approach to the parent's speech is to use quotations from the Tanakh or the Talmud, or other Jewish sources. The best speech, however, is one that is simple and from the heart, and is to your child, not to the audience.
