Bat mitzvah

• Celebrated by reform Jewish girls, it means “daughter of the commandments”, and is celebrated at 12 years old
• She may also join a minyan at this age, there will usually be a synagogue service during Shabbat morning service where we may lead prayers and read from the Torah
• It is a coming of age ceremony for 12 year old girls which marks the time when a girl becomes a Jewish adult. This means she is now responsible for her own actions and can decide for themselves how they would like to practice judaism
