An example bar mitzvah film: Nadav, from baby to his bar mitzvah
Growing style46 seconds8 photos
This is a complete bar mitzvah film, a gift from grandparents to their grandson, made entirely in Glim, a service that turns photos of someone you love into a short AI-animated film. Eight photos of Nadav, from six months old in 2013 to his bar mitzvah in 2026, flow into one another over 46 seconds, between an opening and an end card from Grandpa and Grandma, with music from Glim’s library. Nadav and his family are invented: we made the photos with AI for this example. Nothing in the film was changed outside Glim.
A film like this needs 7 animations and an AI opening. The smallest package, 1 minute, has 12, and every package includes an AI opening. It costs ₪79, the final price in Israel. The first animation is free, no card needed.

The film also comes in a version where a voice tells what is on screen. The “Audio description” button under the film switches to it, or you can open it as a file. That voice is synthetic, made with AI.
Baby Nadav lies on his tummy on a living-room rug, smiling. The title, in Hebrew, reads “Nadav”, and beneath it, “From baby to the bar mitzvah”.
Nadav at six months, in a light-blue onesie, lies on his tummy on a cream rug, lifting his head and smiling at the camera.
Nadav at three in the playground sandpit, in a green T-shirt, a red bucket in one hand and a yellow spade in the other.
The kindergarten Hanukkah party: Nadav at five, in a navy sweater, holds a menorah he made from paper, a plate of sufganiyot beside him.
His first day of first grade: Nadav at six stands by the building’s front door in a grey T-shirt, a big dark-blue schoolbag on his back, smiling with a front tooth missing.
A family hike in spring: Nadav at eight, in a red cap, stands in a field of red anemones, green hills behind him.
Nadav at ten in goal on the football pitch, in a bright-green shirt and black goalkeeper gloves, holding a white ball in both hands.
Nadav at twelve, in a navy hoodie, plays backgammon on his grandparents’ balcony. Only Grandpa’s hand shows across the board, beside glasses of tea and pots of red geraniums.
Nadav on his bar mitzvah day, in a white shirt, a white tallit with thin navy stripes and a navy knitted kippah, stands in the synagogue’s stone courtyard by an olive tree and an arched wooden door.
The end card. In Hebrew: “Congratulations, Nadav”, and beneath it, “With love, Grandpa and Grandma”.
