Examines the history of these rituals of adulthood, explains what is involved in the ceremonies, and outlines the responsiblities that accompany becoming a full-fledged member of the congregation. - Crabtree Pub Co
The celebration of a bar or bat mitzvah is a recognition that a young Jewish boy or girl has reached the age of responsibility. At the age of 13 for boys and 12 for girls, children take lessons to prepare for the ritual ceremony of reading from the Torah, the Jewish holy book. Readers will learn about the different ways boys and girls are prepared, as well as the traditional family celebrations that go along with the religious celebration.
