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.
|
