Question

Hello, My daughter is celebrating her Bat Mitzvah. I wanted to perform the challah separation and henna ceremony at the same time. I wanted to hold the celebration in the synagogue hall. I saw in Yalkut Yosef that it is forbidden to hold a Bat Mitzvah in a synagogue, but it is unclear whether this refers to the synagogue hall or the sanctuary. I would appreciate an answer.

Answer

Hello and congratulations

The issue is only with celebrating in the synagogue sanctuary, and there is no problem with celebrating in the hall adjacent to the synagogue designated for events.
