Depends on the community and the era. In many communities, the title doesn't change. Among Hassidim, the highest Rabbis are called Rebbe; among Sephardim the title Chacham is used; and among the Litvish (yeshiva community), the title of Posek (codifier of Jewish law) or Harav Hagaon (expert Rabbi).

The above are some common examples.

It is worth noting in Judaism, however, that having an elevated Rabbinical title does not grant the Rabbi more power over communities and other Rabbis, as opposed to how having a more elevated title does grant more power in Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Shiite Islam. More people may follow the opinion of a Posek or a Gaon because they trust the judgment of that person, but not because he can compel the following of his opinion through "regular" Rabbis.

Today most non-Orthodox Jews celebrate a girl's Bat Mitzvah in the same way as a boy's Bar Mitzvah. Generally Bat mitzvah's are for 12 year old girls. All Reform and Reconstructionist, and most Conservative synagogues have egalitarian participation, in which women read from the Torah and lead services.

The majority of Orthodox Jews reject the idea that a woman can publicly read from the Torah or lead prayer services whenever there is a minyan (quorum of 10 males) available to do so. However, the public celebration of a girl becoming Bat Mitzvah in other ways has made strong inroads in Modern Orthodox Judaism and also in some elements of Haredi Judaism. In these congregations, women do not read from the Torah or lead prayer services, but occasionally they will lecture on a Jewish topic to mark their coming of age, learn a book of Tanakh, recite verses from the Book of Esther or the Book of Psalms, or say prayers from the siddur.

In some modern Orthodox circles, bat mitzvah girls will read from the Torah and lead prayer services in a women's tefillah. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, a prominent Orthodox posek, has ruled that Bat Mitzvah celebrations are allowable and not be construed as imitating non-Jewish customs; however, they do not have the status of seudat mitzvah. Rabbi Avadia Yosef holds that it is a seudat mitzvah.

The blessings that are said are "May you live to see your world fulfilled, May you be our link to future worlds, and may your hope encompass all the generations to be. May your heart conceive with understanding, may your mouth speak wisdom and your tongue be stirred with sounds of joy. May your gaze be straight and sure, your eyes be lit with Torah's lamp, your face aglow with heaven's radiance, your lips expressing words of knowledge, and your inner self alive with righteousness. And may you always rush in eagerness to hear the words of One more ancient than all time."

I finally found what the blessings were myself.

Thanks anyway.
