Note: This is an americanism that doesn't translate literally into Hebrew. You don't actually have a bat mitzvah. You become a bat mitzvah, or you have a party in honor of becoming a bat mitzvah.
I hope you have a good bat mitzvah (party) =
a male says:
ani mekaveh sheyihyeh lach (mesibat) bat mitzvah tovah
×× ×™ מקווה שיהיה לך (מסיבת) בת מצוה טובה
a female says:
ani mekavah sheyihyeh lach (mesibat) bat mitzvah tovah
×× ×™ מקווה שיהיה לך (מסיבת) בת מצוה טובה
Do you mean a card to a boy having a Bar Mitzvah? The general message is congratulatory, so ... Congratulations on this special occasion. or ... You've worked very hard, congratulations on this special day!
The word Bar Mitzvah (בר מצוה) is a Hebrew word. Bar is technically Aramaic, but it's commonly used in Hebrew.The Bar Mitzvah ceremony, which is actually just an ordinary Torah service, is entirely in Hebrew.
Happy Birthday = Yom Huledet Same'achOn the occasion of a Bar Mitzvah it is customary to bless the Bar Mitzvah boy with a hearty Mazel Tov!(Oh... and don't forget the presents...)
It is decided based on the time of year the Bar or Bat Mitzvah occurs, based on the Hebrew calendar.
The correct spelling is "bar mitzvah" (Jewish rite of adulthood). In some US style guides (but not most) it is capitalized Bar Mitzvah. The corresponding term for a female is "bat mitzvah."
NO Barmitzvah's are for men. BATmitzvah's are for women
The term from Hebrew is usually spelled bar mitzvah(Jewish rite of manhood).
Typically you would wish the Bar Mitzvah boy and his family "Mazal Tov"
well t doesn't have to be celebrated, as soon as the boy has his 13th Hebrew birthday he is a Bar Mitzvah, the celebration is just kinda a nice thing to do
Just exactly as they're said in the question. These are Hebrew terms, and Yiddish imports them directly, without translation.
Just like you did when you asked the question: Bat Mitzvah.
1. Bar Mitzvah is for 13-year-old boys 2. Bat Mitzvah is for 12- or 13-year old girls They read Hebrew passages from the Torah and Haftorah. They also give speeches on how they feel about their religious passage into adulthood. The rabbi blesses them and they have parties.
