Jewish children attend Sunday School and Hebrew School. The teachers, cantors, and rabbis for their special days.

Clarification:

Sunday school is more of a US thing. In other countries classes are often held after school. During these classes the children learn more about Judaism, the significance of a bar/bat mitzvah, practice their Torah portion and prayers.

What does the bar mitzvah boy do before his ceremony?

He often gets called up to read from the Torah in front of the synagogue congregation. Really, though, becoming Bar Mitzvah happens regardless of what one does. It simply means becoming an adult and becoming responsible for one's actions. A Jewish boy becomes Bar Mitzvah when he turns 13.


An explantion of how they prepare for bar and bat mitzvah?

The bar or bat mitzvah celebrates a Jewish child becoming a young adult who Jewish tradition holds to be responsible for his or her own actions. One of the central actions that requires adult standing is leading a Jewish service, and a traditional way to celebrate becoming bar mitzvah is for the new young adult to lead at least part of a service. Since Jewish services include large numbers of Hebrew prayers, a major part of the child's preparation involves learning Hebrew. Typical Hebrew/religious School curricula involve 6 hours per week of instruction during the school year for several years prior to the bar mitzvah -- this is supplemental instruction above and beyond the normal public school curriculum. It is worth noting that the Hebrew text in elementary primers and in the prayerbook is always printed with vowels, but that these are a recent (Greek) innovation an the traditional Torah scroll handwritten on parchment is written with out vowels. Furthermore, Torah is chanted with a melody that is tied to the grammar of the text. This is quite a bit for a child to learn.
