Bat Mitzvah
Girls Bar Mitzvah is called a Bat Mitzvah. A Bat Mitzvah happens when a Jewish girl turns 12 years old. Once the girl reaches that age she is an adult according to the Jewish law. This means that the girl will have to follow all applicable rules. During the ceremony the Bat-Mitzvah girl will wear the dress of her choice.
Bat mitzvah ceremonies didn't become really popular until the 1970's. At that time, they were normally held during the Friday night Shabbat service only. Today, the majority of bat mitzvah ceremonies are held Saturday morning and the bat mitzvah girl reads directly from the Torah.
