More than a lesson about G-d, this is a lesson about ourselves, exploring the human capacity for reason and critical thinking alongside the inborn need to reach beyond our limited comprehension to marvel at, and envelop ourselves in that which our left brains cannot possibly comprehend.

You might as well brace yourself now. That little boy or girl that just yesterday was strapped into a car seat is today getting all set for adolescence. Our children begin to go through some dramatic changes, physically and emotionally, at the age of thirteen. The rabbis were wise in choosing this age as the proper time for becoming Bar/t Mitzvah.

  • Kol Shalom Bar/Bat Mitzvah Guidelines
    Kol Shalom Bar/Bat Mitzvah Guidelines Introduction: Bar/Bat Mitzvah Ceremony in Perspective A Bar or Bat Mitzvah is a public acknowledgment that a boy or girl has become a responsible adult member of the Jewish community. It is an important step in the transition to adulthood and the acceptance of responsibility for one’s own actions. As a public expression, the ceremony takes place in the context of a normal worship service at which a portion from the Torah is read and a Haftarah is chanted. During the course of that service, the Bar or Bat Mitzvah is given the opportunity to demonstrate that he or she has acquired the requisite skills to fulfill the obligations of a Jewish adult. We must stress the fact that the ceremony is part of our regular Shabbat service and not a separate, private ceremony for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah family alone. That enables our entire worshipping community to celebrate the life cycle with family and friends. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah brings honor to him or herself by the manner in which he or she participates in the service. Since Kol Shalom is an egalitarian congregation, participation in the service is not dependent on the gender of the student nor is there any limit to the extent of that participation. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah at Kol Shalom is an event for the congregation as well as for the family. We all look forward to sharing the joy, as our children become young adults. Scheduling the Bar/Bat Mitzvah 1. Families must be members of Kol Shalom when the Bar/Bat Mitzvah is scheduled and must remain members through the time of the ceremony itself.

Your child’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah is fast approaching. We at the South Huntington Jewish Center are all anxiously anticipating your simhah and are here to assist you in any way that we can. Bar/Bat Mitzvah is indeed a simhah - a celebration, a joyous time. It is a time to reflect on the passage of time - fondly remembering birth and childhood, and, yes, even looking forward to the wedding day. All these emotions are strongly felt and articulated in the “Sheheheyanu” brakhah that we say on the Bar/Bat Mitzvah day. We thank God for “keeping us in life, for sustaining us and for enabling us to reach this happy moment”. Yet while Bar/Bat Mitzvah is a simhah, it is also an opportunity. It is an opportunity to “plug-in” to the Synagogue; an opportunity to get closer to the clergy and professional staff.

And on the third day, his birthday, Pharaoh made a banquet for all his officials. - Genesis 40:20 The very first recorded mention of a birthday celebration in Western literature is right here in the Torah, the Hebrew Bible. But birthdays have been celebrated for thousands of years in Eastern cultures, particularly evident in the Chinese tradition of “longevity noodles” — the longer the noodle you can slurp, the longer your life will be. Now that’s a ritual we can get behind. Whether you’re celebrating a birth date, birth month, star sign, or Chinese zodiac, we hope this guide helps elevate the centerpiece of your Shabbat — the once-in-a-lifetime miracle that is you. O N E T A B L E . O R G | @ O N E T A B L E S H A B B A T Light Shabbat candles! Birthday candles! More light means more joy. The light you create tonight will welcome your weekend, and sparkle long into your new year. בָּרוּךְ ַא ָּתה יְיָ ֱאל ֵֹהינוּ ֶמלֶךְ ָהעוֹלָם ֲא ׁ ֶשר ִק ְדּ ׁ ָשנוּ בְּ ִמצְוֹ ָתיו וְצִוָּנוּ לְ ַה ְדלִיק נֵר ׁ ֶשל ׁ ַשבָּת.

  • S Hebrew Birthday!
    A *Giveaway* because . Surprise! It’s My Kid’s Hebrew Birthday! My sweet girl just one HOUR old. Today is my daughter’s first Hebrew birthday. I want to write something poetic about that fact. I’d like to connect the meaning of her Hebrew birthday with the meaning of her name, Siona, which happens to be the feminine form of Sion, Hebrew for Zion, but I can’t. I can’t do that because I have never celebrated a Hebrew birthday in my life; not even a little bit. In fact, I wouldn’t have even known that today is my daughter’s Hebrew birthday if it weren’t for my very sweet and dear friend, Sharona, who told me that today is the day. I had texted her to see if she wanted to go out on a lady-date next Wednesday but she declined because that’s HER daughter’s first Hebrew birthday, “So”, she texted me, “That means that Friday is Siona’s Hebrew birthday!” (insert cricket chirps here and blank staring at text message here). To be honest, I didn’t text her back after receiving text. In fact, I let it sit for a day or so before responding because I felt like such a farce for not even knowing my kid’s Hebrew birthday. Hell, I don’t even know my own Hebrew birthday! Siona’s Simchat Bat – her Jewish life is beginning. It takes a lot for me to feel self-conscious about something; I consider myself pretty confident in most of the important areas (i.e.

You and your family are about to celebrate a significant milestone in your child’s life. A Bar/Bat Mitzvah marks the time in a person’s life when the larger community begins to view that person as an adult. In the Jewish tradition, a person is now capable of assuming more responsibilities, observing laws from the Torah, Mitzvot, participating in religious rituals, and being counted as part of a Minyan (prayer quorum). The leaders and congregation of Temple Emanu-El are excited to share this joyous moment with your family, and are here to help you prepare for the occasion as best we can. Planning for this event can seem overwhelming.
