A bot mitsvah is like a very special birthday. It is when a girl becomes a woman in the Jewish belief. Usually a girl celebrates hers at age 13 and boys at age 15

A bat mitzvah is when a 12 year old female is cherished and is turning into an adult in the Jewish religeon.

Eva-Maria Jansson has written:

'The message of a mitsvah' -- subject(s): Mezuzah, Rabbinical literature, History and criticism

* hurrah * pharaoh * pariah * huh * cheetah * tabboueh * tempeh * yeah * ayatolla * halleluja * messiah * savannah * yeshiva * mitzvah * mitsvah

that's the age for a bar mitsvah in the Jewish culture but the children were always required to follow the commandments from childbirth
