Recently, a Kveller reader asked us about what songs would be great to include in a bar/bat mitzvah montage. As music-lovers here, we immediately went to task–and asked our readers to tell us their favorite songs to be played alongside embarrassing childhood photos during this quintessential bar/bat mitzvah tradition.
This is what they said:
“‘Home’ by Philip Phillips, ‘Best Day of My Life’ by Americas Authors, and ‘Good Life’ by One Republic.”
-LH
“‘Slipping Through My Fingers’ by Abba and ‘Never Grow Up’ by Taylor Swift.”
-PN

“‘In my Life’ by the Beatles.”
-AG
“Rod Stewart’s ‘Forever Young.'”

“‘Smile’ by Uncle Kracker”

“Barbra Streisand.”
-IG
“John Mayer’s ‘Daughters’ and Jimmy Buffett’s ‘Little Miss Magic.'”
-DF
My personal pick? The Cinematic Orchestra’s “To Build a Home.”
