Bat Mitzvah at Chabad
Welcoming her into the adult Jewish community with pride and joy.
At Chabad, our primary goal is to help our children live Jewish lives with pride, knowledge, and enthusiasm. When your daughter reaches the age of Bat Mitzvah, we share the privilege and responsibility of welcoming her into the adult Jewish community. Together, we hope to instill the meaning and significance of the occasion, celebrate appropriately, and honor your daughter's place among the Jewish people.
Age & Milestone
The Bat Mitzvah is the day a Jewish girl becomes responsible for Mitzvot (commandments) and is accountable for her actions under Jewish law. This milestone happens automatically on her 12th Jewish birthday.
The Celebration
The Bat Mitzvah ceremony is a beautiful event arranged in coordination with Rebbetzin Goldie. It includes a presentation by the Bat Mitzvah girl, speeches from the Rabbi and Rebbetzin, and a warm, inspirational atmosphere for all guests.
