B'not Mitzvah

B'not Mitzvah refers to Jewish girls reaching the age of religious maturity, typically at 12 years old. The term means "daughters of the commandment" in Hebrew. At this age, they traditionally become responsible for observing religious practices and participating in rituals, such as reading from the Torah during services. The milestone often includes a celebration known as a Bat Mitzvah, marking their transition into spiritual adulthood. While the specific customs can vary among communities, B'not Mitzvah signifies increased religious duties and a meaningful rite of passage in Jewish life.
