Nachas

The bar or bat mitzvah speech that could only be about your kid.

Your child has been preparing for months. Now it's your turn on the bimah. Nachas turns your stories and their actual Torah portion into speeches that could only be about them — for every speaker in the family.

Why Nachas

Every speech generator knows English.
Ours knows the parsha.

Generic tools produce a generic bar mitzvah parent speech — vaguely warm, vaguely Jewish, instantly forgettable. Nachas is built on a different foundation.

All 54 Torah portions, curated

Enter the simcha date and we find the parsha. Then a guided library shows what that portion is actually about — you pick the themes your kid genuinely lives and back each with a real story. No invented Torah, ever.

No story told twice

Mom, Dad, Grandma, big sister — everyone speaks, and every speech is written knowing what the others say. Each Torah theme belongs to exactly one speaker. The room never hears the lemonade-stand story twice.

In your community's voice

Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, or Just Jewish — choose once, and every speech, candle couplet, and book page speaks the way your congregation speaks. From Hashem and Shabbos to values-forward and English-first.

How it works

From blank page to bimah in one evening

Build the profile

Your child's spark, their preparation, their mitzvah project — and their parsha, found automatically from the date.

Everyone interviews

Each speaker answers their own questions. Send a short interview to the rabbi, teachers, and camp friends to gather memories.

The speeches arrive

Three drafts per speaker — Heartfelt, Light & funny, Torah-woven — each distinct from every other speech at the simcha. Revise line by line.

Keep it forever

Candle-lighting couplets for the reception, and the Simcha Book: every speech, memory, and blessing, typeset and print-ready.

"And you shall tell your child on that day…"
— Exodus 13:8 · the oldest instruction in the business
The Simcha Book

The party lasts a night.
The book lasts a lifetime.

Everything from the day, compiled automatically: the parsha and its themes in your family's words, every speech given on the bimah, the memories and blessings the community sent in, the candle-lighting ceremony, and a closing page of the family's wishes. Your kid reads it at 40 and cries.

Questions

Bar & bat mitzvah speech questions, answered

How is this different from just using ChatGPT?

Nachas is built on a curated, reviewed library of all 54 Torah portions. You select the themes your child genuinely lives, back each one with a real story, and the speech is constructed only from accurate parsha material and your own words — no invented Torah, no generic filler. It also coordinates every speaker at your simcha so no story or theme repeats, which no chat window can do.

We're Orthodox / Conservative / Reform — will it sound like us?

Choose your community once and everything speaks that way: Hashem or God, Shabbos or Shabbat, Torah-and-mitzvos or values-and-tikkun-olam. There's also a "Just Jewish" voice for culturally Jewish and interfaith families with mixed audiences.

What if I don't know the Torah portion?

Enter the date of the simcha and Nachas finds that Shabbat's parsha automatically — including double portions, where it asks which half your child is reading.

Will the speech sound like AI wrote it?

The speeches are built from your stories, your kid's quirks, and your answers — and you'll see the most personal paragraph of every draft before paying anything. If it doesn't read like your family, don't pay. Then revise any line until it sounds exactly like you.

Is our family's information private?

Your stories are used only to write your speeches and your book. They're never used to train AI models and never shared. Delete them anytime.
