What is the difference between confirmation and a Bar or Bat Mitzvah?

Answer 1The Bar or Bat-Mitzvah is a coming of age ritual where the young adult reads directly from the Torah scroll and leads the congregation in prayer. The typical age for this is 13.A confirmation occurs in 10th Grade and is the slightly older young adults' confirming their faith and their Jewish education. In my experience, the confirmation is usually a group event, while the bar/bat mitzvah is more individual (sometimes 2 or 3, but not typically 10-20.)Answer 2The Bar Mitzva ceremony is a centuries-old custom. Bat Mitzva and confirmation ceremonies are a recent practice.Answer 3The Confirmation and the Bar/Bat Mitzvah are both coming of age rituals, but in different religions. The Confirmation is designed for Catholicism and is the first time that a child will partake of the Eucharist (cracker and wine which are the metaphysical blood and flesh of Christ). The Bar/Bat Mitzvah is designed for Judaism and is the first time that a child will read directly from the Torah (the scroll containing the first five Biblical books).

Can you have Bat Mitzvah and Confirmation?

If the question is in regard to the ceremony most people associate with a Jewish child becoming a bat mitzvah, the simple answer is, no. In order to publicly read from the Torah, a person has to be Jewish so no rabbi would allow a person who was raised as a Catholic to perform this task.According to Jewish law, you are either a Catholic or Jewish. You cannot be both. As a bat mitzvah is specific to Jewish law, it only applies to Jewish females.Part of the confusion may be the common misconception that the ceremony held to celebrate a girl becoming a bat mitzvah, which happens on her 12th birthday, is what makes the girl an adult. In truth, a Jewish girl becomes a bat mitzvah automatically on her 12th birthday and this is the single most important religious event in a Jewish woman's life.The public ceremony that most people associate with becoming a bat mitzvah is actually just a recognition of this event. It is when the bat mitzvah publicly reads from the Torah for the first time in her life. By doing this, she is stating that she has accepted the religious responsibilities of a Jewish adult. A Roman Catholic confirmation contradicts the concept of acknowledging that a girl has become a bat mitzvah as the two events embrace opposing beliefs.Answer:On the contrary. You can be simultaneously religiously Catholic and ethnically Jewish. As such, if your family chooses to celebrate your Bat Mitzvah as an ethnic celebration, it is quite acceptable.
