What special ceremonies do the jews participate in?

Answer 1

There are many lifecycle ceremonies that occur in Judaism. In fact, there are more lifecycle ceremonies in Judaism than in any other religion, because Judaism is a ritual-based religion, unlike most other religions, such as Christianity, which are faith-based. That being said, Judaism has a ceremony for just about everything, including everything in a lifecycle, from birth to death, from marriage to divorce, etc. I don't really know too much about baptism, but from what I gathered at Wikipedia, it is immersion in water to signify a rebirth after one commits to Christianity. This is likely an adulterated version of the use of the mikvah in Judaism -- a mikvah is a pool of water that is used for ritual immersion by: females after menstruation is completed, males and females upon conversion into Judaism and males for certain kabbalistic elevations of their status, such as prior to the High Holy Days or prior to Shabbat (or every day for Chasidim). So yes, we have something like baptism because baptism was borrowed and modified from Judaism. If baptism was merely an example of a lifecycle ceremony, Judaism possesses many lifecycle ceremonies -- too may to discuss at length here. There is a bar mitzvah at age 13 for males (bat mitzvah for females at age 12), at which time a Jewish individual is help responsible for his or her own deeds -- there are associated rituals, but most are irrelevent (responsibility still falls on the individual even if he neglects to put on a party hat or be called to the Torah). There are numerous ceremonies connected to marriage, and a bunch of ceremonies connected to divorce. There are also many ceremonies connected to death and burial.
