Hebrew Bar Mitzah
Hebrew "Bar Mitzvah" means "son of commandment". When a Jewish boy turns thirteen, he becomes a responsible young man, ready to observe God's commandments. According to the Jewish tradition, age 13 is considered the time when the boy's soul is mature enough to assume such responsibility. This age is a phase in a Jewish boy's life when he develops moral conscience and a sense of responsibility in relation to the religious world and the social world.
The boy's family gathers in a synagogue to mark this event, the Bar Mitzvah boy is performing rising to the Torah. When the boy concludes his final prayer, his family and friends shower him with candies and sweets.
When celebrated in Israel, the Bar Mitzvah boy is often taken to the Western Wall in the holy city of Jerusalem. This is a special ceremony with a touch of holiness.
The boy will say a Bar Mitzvah speech in which he acknowledges the significance of this moment and thanks his family. In addition to the Bar Mitzvah service, a big party is usually thrown by the family and friends.
Given the significance of the event in the life of any Jewish family, it is common to give the Bar Mitzvah boy a gift to commemorate the day. Gifts are not given in the synagogue but rather at the Bar Mitzvah celebration.
For friends and relatives, most popular Bar mitzvah gifts are items of religious nature such as books with prayers and Jewish jewelry: Hebrew pendants with religious symbols, jewelry with Hebrew inscriptions, and jewelry that incorporate the hamsa symbol.
