Bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs mark the official entry into adulthood for Jewish teens. The day is anticipated and studied for, and remembered forever. In some circles, the parties celebrating the occasion can be the most significant social events in young people's lives-complete with elaborate themes and celebrity guests. But most important, bar and bat mitzvahs are serious religious ceremonies, with rich histories and deep significance for the participants. Here is a warmly written discussion of the time-honored Jewish coming-of-age ritual, its historical background and evolution. Also included are reflections on how this important tradition has affected the lives of those who have participated in it, with a special chapter featuring the reminiscences of well-known actors, television personalities, and sports figures about their own bar and bat mitzvahs. This concise, informative book will help young people preparing for their own big day-as well as their families and friends-understand and appreciate this joyous, spiritual occasion. Book jacket.

Like Judaism itself, the ritual of the Bar and Bat Mitzvah has developed over time. As with all rituals, participants need to invest it with meaning if it is to move beyond mere performance. In a time when we seek to strengthen Jewish continuity and identity, the bar and bat mitzvah provide opportunities to create meaning in our children's lives. It is the moment when the Jewish community grows by one. A Spiritual Journey is at once a guide to the practical issues of becoming a bar or bat mitzvah and an exploration of the deeper emotional and spiritual elements, inviting young adults and their families to appreciate the ritual's inherent richness and beauty. B'nai mitzvah and their parents will benefit from this thoughtful examination of the ceremonies that lie at the heart of Jewish identity. A Spiritual Journey ensures that the ceremony sets Jewish young adults on a lifelong path toward wisdom, faith, justice, and peace.
