Mazel Tov: Celebrities' Bar and Bat Mitzvah Memories

In Mazel Tov, celebrity journalist Jill Rappaport and photographer Linda Solomon offer an intimate glimpse of the bar or bat mitzvahs of some of the most talented people in entertainment, politics and business. This remarkable book brings together stories and never-before-seen family photos of a variety of public figures, as they look back on their thirteen-year-old selves and reminisce about the celebration that marked their transition into adulthood. The wonderfully candid interviews in Mazel Tov document deeply poignant, and often hilariously awkward, moments in these very public lives. Interviewees include Jeremy Piven, Senator Joseph Lieberman, Marlee Matlin, Richard Dreyfuss, Ronald Perelman, Howie Mandel, Gene Shalit, Harvey Fierstein, Judy Gold, Larry King, Donny Deutsch, Michael Kors, Charles Grodin, Josh and Andy Bernstein, and many others. Their experiences run the gamut: Kirk Douglas decided to be bar mitzvahed twice, while others, like Noah Wyle, always wanted one but never had the chance. There are stories of bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, confirmations, and the only documented ""bark"" mitzvah, held in honor of two beloved pets. Though the stories vary greatly in their detail, they all express a common appreciation for values and traditions that have been passed down through the generations. Illustrated with photos pulled from family albums as well as contemporary portraits, Mazel Tov is an appealing tribute to the enduring bonds of faith and family.

Celebrities' Bar and Bat Mitzvah Memories

Jeremy Piven

As the son of two acting teachers, Jeremy Piven certainly had great footsteps to follow in and his stellar career speaks for itself. With close to fifty film credits under his belt, plus an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a comedy, playing Agent Ari Gold in HBO's Entourage, Piven, known for his scene stealing roles, is truly on a roll himself.

Born on July 26, 1965, to Byrne and Joyce Hiller Piven, acting was in his blood long before his bar mitzvah. Byrne and Joyce studied acting, and in 1967, the entourage, including Byrne and Joyce, Jeremy, and his older sister, Shira, relocated to Chicago from New York. In Chicago the Pivens founded the Piven Theatre Workshop. At eight, Jeremy had his first acting job in his parents' theater, doing Chekhov. He graduated from Evanston Township High School, where he played football, and attended Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.

At the age of nine, he befriended John Cusack, who, with his sister, Joan, was a student at the ... read full excerpt from Mazel Tov: Celebrities' Bar and Bat Mitzvah Memories ebook
