The phrase is 'bat mitzvah'. Bat mitzvah, which means 'daughter of mitzvah' is what a Jewish girl is called on her 12th birthday. This means that she is considered ready to take on the religious responsibilities of a Jewish adult. This is often accompanied by a religious ceremony that is referred to as the bat mitzvah ceremony.

∙ 10y agoIt literally means "daughter of the commandments". It was a ceremony designed for 12 year old girls in the 1800s and 1900s to mirror the older ceremony of bar mitzvah for 13 year old boys which dates to the 1200s. It is the point at which a young girl becomes a woman in the Jewish community. In Conservative and Reform Synagogues, a Bat Mitzvah reads from the Torah and Haftarah as boys do. In Orthodox Judaism, the Bat Mitzvah gives a speech to the congregation but does not read from the Torah.
