Family Photos for Bar/Bat Mitzvah:

Since pictures and/or video taping are not allowed on Shabbat it is necessary for you to arrange a picture-taking time through the CSI office.   

Before contacting your photographer, please contact  Joanne (Joanne@csibriarcliff.org) at the CSI office so the date you are considering can be verified as to availability of the sanctuary (i.e. school, duplicate scheduling, holidays, special programs).  

Please note that if you change your appointment, the newly-scheduled time/date must still be confirmed with Joanne as well.  

Pictures cannot be scheduled during regular school hours or when the cantor is having a Bar/Bat Mitzvah rehearsal. 

Occasionally famlies wish to include members of the Professional Staff.  Should that be your preference, it is necessary to make those arrangements directly with them.   Once you get a "yes" -   Please understand that there are many circumstances beyond our control that often change the schedules of our Professional Staff members at the last minute.
