Bat Mitzvah

Defination: Bat Mitzvah occurs when Jewish girls become 12 and is a rite of passage from being considered unable to properly understand the Torah to being considered old enough to begin to understand and are treated more like adults. In addition to being considered accountable for their actions from a religious perspective. Prior to a child reaching Bat Mitzvah, the child's parents hold the responsibility for the child's actions. After this age, children bear their own responsibility for Jewish ritual law, tradition, and ethics and are able to participate in all areas of Jewish community life^.

Decor done by Mya and Lenna. This golden bowl was huge!

 The very moving ceremony was approximately 2 hours long. What an honor to have been included in this rite of passage. Afterwards, there was a reception with sandwiches, salads and a yummy caramel apple bar.

Congratulations and Shalom to my friend Lenna and her daughter Mya.
