The Bar Mitzvah party menu can host a balanced mix of traditional Jewish cooking and some great tasting kids treats. The Baklava is a tasty European dessert made with honey and nuts so it should fit right in at the table. You can also make chocolate baklava for the kids. The main course can be something very simple like meat and cheese wraps or pitas with a tasty cucumber sauce. Even the Bar Mitzvah boy would love them, but you can also have a pizza on hand as back up for those picky eaters. Put a twist on the traditional latkes by making Sweet Potato Latkes and serving them with a maple syrup or honey sauce. You can make them as a side dish or dessert. Last but not least add some filler items to your buffet with a tomato salad, macaroni salad and easy pick up items like dried fruits and pretzels.
