03x08 - The Bat Mitzvah Planner

♪ ♪

There's our girl.

Just four days until
your bat mitzvah.

When, according to Jewish tradition,

that girl becomes a woman.

And this woman's gonna have

the baddest party in the
history of bat mitzvahs!

And the good thing is
no pressure on mom.

I'm gonna go lie down.

Love you, Mom. Love you more.

Wait until you see
my bat mitzvah, Mr. R.

It's a ' s themed party,

based on the TV musical Doo Wop Days!

I remember! The
one with Ricky Angelo.

♪ Concrete rain ♪

Dad, please don't sing.

Fine. I'll save it for the party.

Dad... Fine, I'll
save it for the shower.

Seriously? Not even when I'm alone?

It's gonna be a real s sock hop.

The food will be displayed
on spinning vinyl records!

And there's gonna be
an amazing photo wall

with the real backseat
from a ' convertible.

And a ' s car hop
to serve the tunes!

To translate, Grandma
is gonna be Olive's DJ.

So, what do you
think, Bat Mitzvah Girl?

I think we have a new
mayor of Coolsville.

Thank you! Well, if you'll excuse me,

I've gotta go burn rubber.

Outta my way, square.

Hey, guys, what's up?

You know how I hate to give bad news?

Yeah?

That's why I'm gonna
let Sophia give it.

Emmy!

Well, it appears Laura Silver

had her bat mitzvah on Saturday,

and it seems that she might've,

kind of had the exact
same theme as yours.

What? No way it's exactly the same.

She just posted the pictures.

There's a buffet with
spinning vinyl records!

Big deal. So, one thing's the same.

And a photo wall with a real backseat

from a ' convertible.

Okay, two things.

And it's literally called "Doo
Wop Days"! Yeah, that's not good.

Olive, we'll figure out the party.

But remember, there's

that is going to be as beautiful

and unique as you.

Mom, if you're not gonna help...

She's all yours, girls.

What am I gonna do?

Don't worry. We'll help you
come up with a new theme.

How about a music festival?

Ali Cohen already did it.

"Cohen chella."

You could do a farm theme!

That was the Zimmerman bar mitzvah.

Right. We all had to
sing "E I E I Owen."

(sighs) This is
literally a nightmare.

I've got it. Olive,

what do you love more
than anything in the world?

You mean other than llamas?

Oh! Llamas!

I love llamas!

I can do a llama themed
bat mitzvah party!

You can call it "A Night in Peru."

Syd, you're a genius!

But, how am I gonna put together
a whole new party in four days?

Don't worry. We'll all help.

Absolutely. We're here for you.

Aw, you guys are the best.

(shouting): Mom!

What is it? I have a
new theme for my party!

Llamas! It's called
"A Night in Peru."

Okay...

Processing, processing, um...

Well, we'll need to completely
change the centerpieces.

The florist already hates us,
so that shouldn't be a problem.

Emmy and I can go to that party store

and see if they have
any llama balloons.

Great! And Syd, you come
with me and my mom. Deb: Oh.

Olive, you have an
appointment with the rabbi today

to go over your speech, remember?

Right, right. Um, Syd,

why don't you meet me at the temple,

and then we'll hit the bakery

since we have to
completely redesign the cake.

How am I ever gonna
do this in four days?

Olive, save the drama for your llama.

Oh, hi! Hey!

Shalom.

Shalom. Boker tov.

Sorry. Shalom's all I got.

I'm Sydney, Olive's BFF.
She's running a little late.

Oh. Well, Sydney,

why don't you come into

Okay.

Wow. Rabbi Feller,
your office is dope!

Oh no. Am I allowed

You are when her office is this sick!

So, tell me about you and Olive.
How long have you been friends?

We met in second grade.

I twisted my ankle playing

What year old carries

Still can't believe Olive's
about to become a woman.

It's a big day.

Do you know what it
means to become a woman

in Jewish tradition?

Oh. Well, it means, uh...

Why don't you go first?

Well, when a girl turns ,

she is welcomed into
the community as an adult.

And as an adult, she is now
accountable for her actions

and responsible for making
the world a better place.

That's awesome.

Yes, it is.

On the day of her bat mitzvah,
Olive will read from the Torah.

Her portion is all
about finding gratitude

in difficult times. Then,
she'll give a speech,

explaining how its
relevant to her own life.

Wow. That's powerful.

Olive hasn't really talked
about the ceremony.

I'm sure she'll be here any minute.

She had a party .

I see.

Unfortunately for some kids,

the party becomes more
important than the ceremony.

They miss out on getting the
true meaning of their special day.

Oh, that's not Olive.

Her bat mitzvah means a lot to her.

A lot.

(phone ringing)

Speaking of Olive...

Hi. Where are you?

Olive (on phone): Syd, I'm
having a really tough time

finding llama themed party stuff.

No, Mom! An alpaca does not count!

Beautifully done, Olive.

(sighs)

Olive is now going to give a speech

reflecting on her Torah portion.

My Torah portion is called Vayeitzei.

The part that had special
meaning for me was about Leah.

She had huge
disappointments in her life,

but was still able to find
gratitude in the worst of times.

When I first wrote my speech,

I thought the worst of times was
having to change my party theme.

That's because I didn't understand

the true meaning of my bat mitzvah.

When the storm came, it looked
like I wouldn't have one at all.

Then, the people I love came together

and worked so hard

to make sure this
special day happened.

And it taught me
that sometimes in life,

things happen that
are out of our control.

But with the love and support
of your friends and family,

and Mr. R's premium internet package,

you can get through
the toughest of times.

And much like Leah, it fills
me with so much gratitude.

A lot of people are having a
much tougher time than I am

because of the storm.

So, instead of a bat mitzvah present,

I'd like everyone to donate
to our local relief fund.

And please don't tell me
what you were getting me.

I'm not that strong.

(laughter)

I'd like to thank Rabbi Feller

for her guidance and wisdom.

I'd also like to thank my mom,

for putting up with me

And years. (laughs) I love you, Mom.

And you, too, Dad! Olive's
