  • Changing the colors or design of an Artificate
  • Unfortunately the Artificates on our website cannot be modified, other than the text you choose. However, you may order an original “Masterpiece” or “Prestige” Artificate, where you may choose your own theme and ideas form one of our internationally acclaimed artists. Furthermore, the “Masterpiece” Artificate is a one of a kind creation that is exclusively yours.

  • Printing
  • All Grand & Prestige Artificates are printed using Giclee printing, to ensure the highest quality art prints

  • Colors on Your Computer Screen
  • We make the best possible effort to ensure that the images that appear in our gallery accurately reflect the colors of the Artificate. However, everyone's monitor is slightly different and most calibration settings are not the same. For this reason, we cannot guarantee that the colors on the Artificate will precisely match what you see on your screen.

  • What is Personalization?
  • There are blank spaces within each Artificate text. Personalization is the completion of these blank spaces, and thus of the Artificate text, to include the names of the Bar or Batmitzvah boy or girl, the date of the celebration, a part of his her or her portion from the Torah and the name of the person or person giving this wonderful gift

  • Caring for your Artificate
  • Always handle your Artificate with clean, dry hands. Be sure to keep the Artificate in as low humidity as possible as moisture can severely damage your artwork.

  • Framing your Artificate
  • We recommend taking the Artificate to a reputable framer. DO NOT dry mount your Artificate – this could permanently damage and discolor the artwork. A nice matt finish glass, U/V protective glass or plexiglass should provide the perfect finish to your Artificate and prevent fading and other environmental damage. Direct sunlight, halogen and fluorescent lighting can cause artwork to fade over time. Try to hang your Artificate out of direct light sources. Find a nice place in your home or work place to have many years of viewing pleasure, memories and celebration each time you see your Artificate.

  • If I order more than one item, will I receive them at the same time?
  • In general a consolidated shipment will be made of Grand and Prestige Artificates. A separate consolidated shipment will be made of all other items. Therefore if a Grand Artificate were ordered with a Kings Haftorah, two separate shipments would be received. In all cases Bar Mitzvah World has attempted to keep shipping costs as low as possible.
