Thanks for this insightful piece on the Bar/Bat Mitzvah spiritual process. I'm attending a celebration of Christian teenagers 'coming of age' spiritually this evening, and your article has inspired me to inspire them.
|
but WHY do you do this? is there a historical reason to the celebration? is it writen in the tora that at a certain age you should celebrate the adultness?? i do not get it.
|
now i have a better undersanding of what i am attending and why.. thanks for the info!!
|
very helpful info. My Bar Mitzvah is soon, and this will surely help me get ready!
|
my Bat Mitzvah is really soon and i hope i will remember this. it is amazing what some think. i will have those i know read this. thank you for the advice and knowledge.
|

Nice article. I took my son to the Ohel today, and his Bar Mitzvah at home is this Saturday (8/7/10). I know he'll bring us much nachas!

Excellent article. This helped us very much as my daughter wanted to speak about 'what IS a bat mitzva' and this is finely described & explained.

Hi, I was born jewish-to a Jewish mother and a jewish father. My mother born in England and my father in Aden then immigrating to Israel when it was formed. They have both now sadly passed and are burried side by side in a jewish Cemetary. This now is the only linkage i have to being jewish. it makes me sad as I have a son who will be turning 13 years old in two years and i wish him to know his heritage and have a bar mitvah. Does anybody know where i can seek help in regaining my Jewish faith? My mother died when i was nearly 16 years of age and my father died in 2007. They both had traditional Jewish send offs but after my mother died my father lost a bit of his will to carry on and left myself my brother and i to do as we will. Myself being the oldest still tried to retain a sense of normality after my mother's passing-but it was not long before my efforts were ignored. We still observed the Rosh hashanah and Yom Kippur every year but it never felt the same. any help would be great.

On the home page of chabad.org there is a box where you can search for a Chabad house in your area.
Wishing you lots of success this year, both spiritually and physically!

What are a girl's responsibilities for her Bat Mitzvah? A boy reads from the Torah, but what does a girl do?
|
I don't get it, what are the new responsibilities a boy has after his Bar Mitzvah?
