Amazing! There is a service in the morning for about an hour and a half. There normally is a party after or later that day, sometimes even the next day! (:
Bar Mitzvah is for boys while Bat Mitzvah is for girls.
It's the time when Jewish children are considered adults in the religious sense.
NO Barmitzvah's are for men. BATmitzvah's are for women
For the same reason as a boy's Bar Mitzvah - the passage of religious female adulthood.
Bat Mitzvah
They have Bar Mitzvah ceremonies for boys & Bat Mitzvah ceremonies for girls.

Same thing, different pronunciations. "Bas" is the Hebrew pronunciation dialectassociated with Ashkenazic Jews. "Bat" is the Hebrew pronunciation dialectassociated with Sephardic Jews, and adopted by the state of Israel. They'rethe same word, regardless of pronunciation.The celebration does require a lot of hard / prep work and organization as well. Bar mitzvah and bat mitzvahparties use a wide variety of favors or decorations, they are also called mazeltovfavors.
The Bar Mitzvah is a Jewish ceremony that dates to the 13th century and confirms that a Jewish boy has come of age and should be seen as an adult in the community. The celebration of coming of age remains an important rite in Judaism.
Just like you did when you asked the question: Bat Mitzvah.
Yes, the boy is called 'a/the bar mitzvah' which translates as 'son of mitzvah'. For a girl, it would be 'a/the bat mitzvah' 'daughter of mitzvah'.
Orthodox girls do have bat mitzvah celebrations at age 12. Bar mitzvah is at age 13.
