Happy Birthday = Yom Huledet Same'ach
On the occasion of a Bar Mitzvah it is customary to bless the Bar Mitzvah boy with a hearty Mazel Tov!
(Oh... and don't forget the presents...)
You just said it. The words "BAHT MITZ-vah" are Hebrew words, meaning "daughter [of] commandments". The phrase refers to a Jewish girl who is turning 12 years old, and is now legally responsible for her own adherence to the Jewish law and way of life. Strictly speaking, the phrase does NOT mean the synagogue service, party, or any other event or process associated with the occasion.
At the time of someone's bar or bat mitzvah, you would say mazel tov! This essentially means "congratulations", which is very fit for this occasion since it is the transition from childhood to man/womanhood
mazal tov, also pronounced MAHzel toff
Happy Bat Mitzvah is not a Hebrew expression. You would just say "Mazal Tov" (מזל טוב)
Happy Bat Mizvah is not a Hebrew expression. You would just say "Mazal Tov"
Happy Bat Mitzvah is not a Hebrew expression. You would just say "Mazal Tov" (מזל טוב)
These two words are Hebrew words.
mazal tov, also pronounced MAHzel toff
bar mitzvah of = בר מצוה של
The word Bar Mitzvah (בר מצוה) is a Hebrew word. Bar is technically Aramaic, but it's commonly used in Hebrew.The Bar Mitzvah ceremony, which is actually just an ordinary Torah service, is entirely in Hebrew.
well t doesn't have to be celebrated, as soon as the boy has his 13th Hebrew birthday he is a Bar Mitzvah, the celebration is just kinda a nice thing to do
It is decided based on the time of year the Bar or Bat Mitzvah occurs, based on the Hebrew calendar.
Just like you did when you asked the question: Bat Mitzvah.
The correct spelling is "bar mitzvah" (Jewish rite of adulthood). In some US style guides (but not most) it is capitalized Bar Mitzvah. The corresponding term for a female is "bat mitzvah."
Not really. It is a ceremony that celebrates a child turning thirteen, and thereby becoming an adult in the eyes of the Jewish community. But it is not a birthday party. It is a service led by the Bar or Bat Mitzvah with great spiritual significance, and afterwards there is often a party.
For answering this question I need to know if you are going the the Bar Mitzvah or not. Usually in a Bar Mitzvah There is a ceremony with a party, and then it's customary to bring a present and not just a card. If you are not going to the Bar Mitzvah ceremony you can only send a card. Should you go to the Bar Mitzvah or not? It's totally up to you and how close you are with the family.
NO Barmitzvah's are for men. BATmitzvah's are for women
Proud, happy and nervous.
Bar mitzvah literally translates as 'son of mitzvah'. This is when a male Jew is considered old enough to take on the religious responsibilities of an adult male. According to Judaism, 13 is when a boy is old enough to take on these responsibilities and he is a bar mitzvah on his 13th birthday.
Confirmation is completely unrelated to a bar mitzvah. A bar mitzvah is simply a Jewish boy's 13th birthday at which point he is considered old enough to take on the religious responsibilities of a Jews adult such as publicly reading from the Torah and fasting.
A Jewish boy's 13th birthday (on the Jewish calendar) is the only requirement for him to become a bar mitzvah. In regard to celebrating the boy becoming a bar mitzvah, the main part his his being called up to read from the Torah for the first time.
