A Birthday Bar Mitzvah party celebration is always fun.
August is just around the corner and if you or someone you know is turning 13, then a Bar Mitzvah event will be the thing to do this awesome month. Have a huge feast and tons of décor. Take as many pictures as you can as these celebrations are important and should be remembered. Also give the guests imprinted thank you cards and enjoy. 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. 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. A Jewish boy automatically becomes a Bar Mitzvah upon reaching the age of 13 years. No ceremony is needed to confer these rights and obligations, however it is a nice tradition to have a ceremony to have the memories and keepsakes of a special moment in your son's life. The Bar Mitzvah ceremony consists of the young person chanting the blessings, and his Torah portion which is the Torah portion of the week. He also reads the Haftarah portion. There are many traditions that accompany the Bar Mitzvah experience. The Bar mitzvah is a rite of passage, a transition from childhood to adulthood; a milestone in a Jewish life. It is a reason to be joyful for the Bar Mitzvah boy, he is now at the age when personal responsibility dawns. This new accountability is a celebration for both the parents who are no longer "blamed" for their son's misconduct, and for the Bar Mitzvah boy who can now be proud of his new responsibility. Bar Mitzvah party supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a perfect way to complete a Bar Mitzvah Party Theme. Party decorations using like glow badges, stickers. Bar Mitzvah loot bags tucked into blue baskets or a Bar Mitzvah piñata can be a centerpiece and double as party prizes. Party favors like glow whistles, hats, masks, party-poppers and confetti will add the special touches to a Bar Mitzvah Party Theme. Enjoy Bar Mitzvah parties by planning ahead so during your celebration you are not running around setting up! Do a party walk through the day prior.
