Useful items to consider during the Bar or Bat Mitzvah
"Bar Mitzvah" literally means "son of the commandment." "Bar" is "son" in Aramaic, which used to be the vernacular of the Jewish people. "Mitzvah" is "commandment" in both Hebrew and Aramaic. "Bat" is daughter in Hebrew and Aramaic. (The Ashkenazic pronunciation is "bas")
Under Jewish Law, children are not obligated to observe the commandments, although they are encouraged to do so as much as possible to learn the obligations they will have as adults. At the age of 13 (12 for girls), children become obligated to observe the commandments. The Bar Mitzvah ceremony formally marks the assumption of that obligation, along with the corresponding right to take part in leading religious services, to count in a minyan (the minimum number of people needed to perform certain parts of religious services), to form binding contracts, to testify before religious courts and to marry.
Jewish boy automatically becomes a Bar Mitzvah upon reaching the age of 13 years. No ceremony is needed to confer these rights and obligations. The popular bar mitzvah ceremony is not required, and does not fulfill any commandment. It is a relatively modern innovation, not mentioned in the Talmud, and the elaborate ceremonies and receptions that are commonplace today were unheard of as recently as a century ago.
In its earliest and most basic form, a Bar Mitzvah is the celebrant's first aliyah. During Shabbat services on a Saturday shortly after the child's 13th birthday, the celebrant is called up to the Torah to recite a blessing over the weekly reading.
Today, it is common practice for the Bar Mitzvah celebrant to do much more than just say the blessing. It is most common for the celebrant to learn the entire haftarah portion, including its traditional chant, and recite that. In some congregations, the celebrant reads the entire weekly torah portion, or leads part of the service, or leads the congregation in certain important prayers. The celebrant is also generally required to make a speech, which traditionally begins with the phrase "today I am a man." The father recites a blessing thanking G-d for removing the burden of being responsible for the son's sins.
Homotzi
Bread, has a unique Berachah, shared with no other food. The Berachah for bread is “Baruch Atah Hashem…Homotzi Lechem Min Ha’aretz, “Blessed are You Hashem, who brings forth bread from the earth.” For this purpose, bread is defined as food which is derived from one of the five species of grain (wheat, barley, spelt, oats and rye), which is then milled into flour, mixed with water, kneaded into dough and baked in an oven. The uniqueness of bread is not merely that it is a universally accepted staple food, but that it held a special place in the Temple sacrifices.
Candle lighting blessing and ceremony
One candle is added to the menorah for each person. Candles should be added from right to left. During a Bar and Bat Mitzvah a candle lighting ceremony takes place where 13 candles are lit on the dance floor or by the stage to act as the blessing and in honor of chosen significant guests and family members. You will be able to dedicate a small snippet of a song or theme for the invited friend or relative when they join you at the candle lighting
