Bat Mitzvah ceremony
A Bat Mitzvah is a Jewish coming-of-age ceremony for a girl, typically at age 12 or 13. It signifies her assumption of religious responsibilities and her recognition as an adult member of the Jewish community. During the ceremony, she often reads from the Torah or a prayer, symbolizing her new role. It is usually celebrated with a service at a synagogue followed by a gathering with family and friends. The event emphasizes her spiritual growth, commitment to Jewish traditions, and participation in community life.
