Bar and Bat Mitzvah I Wedding
Special Occasion I Portrait

The cover of a bencher Lewis made for
the Konvisser-Huang wedding

mitzvah last fall. Lewis was able to
meet Tilchin's tight deadline with a
bencher that exceeded her expec-
tations.
"It had a personalized cover with
the (bat mitzvah) invitation and a
photo of Sheindl at age 6," Tilchin
said. "It's footnoted with a poetic
translation that's meant to be
sung. Everyone who has seen this
bencher was very enamored."
Lewis also has designed custom
siddurim (prayer books) for local
synagogues, a Passover Haggadah
and prayer booklets for use at
shivah services. He tries to keep
his books affordable; the average
bencher costs $10 each for the first
200, with additional quantities at
$6 per book.
Nathaniel Warshay of Oak
Park said many people in the
Orthodox community order bench-
ers online from websites such as
www.KeterJudaica.com . Benchers
published by Artscroll or NCSY
(formerly National Conference of
Synagogue Youth) also are popular.
One of Warshay's favorites is the
Nevarech Pictorial Bencher from
Israel Observer Publications.
"Pictures of Israel are tied in
with the words of the prayers,"
Warshay said. "It's so beautiful
that it is almost a distraction when
I bench."
