Bar & Bat Mitzvah
The big day is coming up.
Around age 12 for a Bat Mitzvah and 13 for a Bar Mitzvah, your child becomes a Jewish adult. Here's how it usually goes:
~6 months before
Lessons begin — Hebrew reading, the Torah portion, and what the day means.
~2 months before
We finalize the date, the honors, and what your child will lead in the service.
The day itself
Your child is called to the Torah as a Jewish adult — surrounded by family and community.
After
A celebration at Chabad, exactly as festive as you want it to be.
