Does Judaism have confirmation?
Answer 1Reform Judaism has Confirmation for 16-yr-olds. Yes Reform Jews do have a Confirmation ceremony for 16 year olds. You can even research it online.Answer 2I personally have never heard of any Jew (Reform/Conservative/Orthodox, etc.) being confirmed in any Jewish capacity.

Among the Reform tradition and some Conservative synagogues, this happens at the age of 15 on the holiday Shavuot, although confirmation is a modern concept, more closely associated with the idea of graduation from religious school, and not really a religious "rite." Also, this practice is one found primarily in the US, very few Jewish groups outside of the US have confirmations.

Why is confirmation similar to bar mitzvah?
Confirmation is completely unrelated to a bar mitzvah. A bar mitzvah is simply a Jewish boy's 13th birthday at which point he is considered old enough to take on the religious responsibilities of a Jews adult such as publicly reading from the Torah and fasting.
What is a Jewish confirmation?
Bar and bat mitzvah celebrations, are an old tradition when a child becomes a young adult at age 13 (12 for girls). Some Jewish communities, particularly non-Orthodox ones, have added a confirmation event for students who continue their Jewish education beyond the age of bar mitzvah. These are not usually big gift-giving events, but a typical model for such an event is recognition of the students who have continued their religious education through high-school at a designated service (frequently on or around Shavuot) followed by a kiddush luncheon.
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.
