Occasion:
Bar Mitzvah
In Judaism, Bar Mitzvah (Hebrew: בר מצוה, "one (m.) to whom the commandments
apply"), Bat Mitzvah (בת מצוה, "one (f.) to whom the commandments apply," or Bas
Mitzvah in Ashkenazi pronunciation), and B'nai Mitzvah (pl.), are the terms to describe
the coming of age of a Jewish boy or girl. According to Jewish law, when Jewish
children reach the age of majority (generally thirteen years for boys and twelve for
girls) they become responsible for their actions, and "become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah." In
many Conservative and Reform synagogues, girls celebrate their Bat Mitzvahs at age
13, along with boys. Click here to read more...

A Jewish marriage ceremony is based on the rules for transfer of property or of rights
in antiquity. In marriage, the woman accepts a ring (or something of value) from the
man, accepting the terms of the marriage. This is called betrothal, or kiddushin or
erusin. A ketubah ("marriage contract") is read publicly. Witnesses are required for
both the signing of the ketubah and the ceremonies. Click here to read more...
