Boys celebrate Bar Mitzvah's and girls celbrate Bat Mitzvah's.
Do you mean Bar Mitzvah? If so, this the coming of age of Jewish male children (Bat Mitzvah is the same thing for female Jewish children). It is at this age that the children become responsible for adhering to Jewish laws and tenets of their faith (nb. it is the children who are referred to as Bar/Bat Mitzvah - not the ceremony of them attending their first sabbath service).
Circumcision and Bar Mitzvah
A bar mitzvah is when a Jewish boy becomes a man. This happens at the age of 13.
If youre a boy, your bar Mitzvah!! if youre a girl you do it at 12 and its called a bat Mitzvah! biggest celebration of every Jews life bigger than a wedding
Girls Bar Mitzvah is called a Bat Mitzvah. A Bat Mitzvah happens when a Jewish girl turns 12 years old. Once the girl reaches that age she is an adult according to the Jewish law. This means that the girl will have to follow all applicable rules. During the ceremony the Bat-Mitzvah girl will wear the dress of her choice.
A bar mitzvah takes on the religious responsibilities of a Jewish adult.
This is actually a common misconception. When a Jewish male turns 13 he is considered to be an adult in regard to taking on the religious responsibilities of an adult Jewish male. This happens on his 13th birthday when he is a 'bar mitzvah'. When he turns 13 he reads from the Torah publicly for the first time and this is associated with his being a bar mitzvah. The ceremony doesn't make the person a bar mitzvah, it celebrates his being a bar mitzvah.
The Jewish boys are required to stay in the synagogue for at least 1 day after their bar mitzvah. They are also noticed as an adult in the Jewish religion. at a bat mitzvah, the Jew had to read out of the Torah. it used to be only boys who have a bat mitzvah, esp. in the orthodox branch.
The Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Bar is for boys, Bat is for girls.
Amazing! There is a service in the morning for about an hour and a half. There normally is a party after or later that day, sometimes even the next day! (:
