Ratzon Orchestra plays bar and bat mitzvahs the way the whole room wants them — soulful Jewish music for the ruach, and real American music for the kids and the crowd. One live band, led by Jeremy Gaisin, tailored to your family and your simcha.
Check Your Date & Book Hear the BandA bar or bat mitzvah is a rare kind of simcha — grandparents, parents, and a room full of twelve- and thirteen-year-olds, all on the same dance floor. Ratzon Orchestra is built for exactly that. We open with the Jewish music that gives the day its meaning and ruach, then read the room and bring the energy the kids came for.
Because our musicians play authentic American music as naturally as they play Jewish music, we can move from a soulful hora into a clean, high-energy American dance set without missing a beat — no separate DJ required, though a DJ is available as a premium add-on if you want one.
The hora, the freilach, the Israeli sets — the heart of the simcha, played with real energy and feel.
Motown, classic rock, funk, Latin, Top 40 and current hits (clean edits) that get the kids and the whole room moving. Custom set lists welcome on request.
Tasteful background sets — jazz standards and instrumental Jewish music — while guests mingle and eat.
Hachnasas sefer Torah, candle-lighting, a featured song for the bar/bat mitzvah — coordinated to your program.
Based in Maryland and the DMV with deep roots across the tri-state area, Ratzon Orchestra travels for bar and bat mitzvahs throughout the U.S. — New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida (Miami, Boca, Hollywood), Baltimore, the Five Towns, Monsey, Lakewood, Teaneck, Englewood — and worldwide. Jeremy hand-picks every musician based on your preferences and the feel of your event.
