Since the Bat-Mitzvah celebration is not founded in ancient tradition, much confusion surrounds it. In Traditions and Celebrations for the Bat Mitzvah, rabbis and experienced educators, learned women and men, consider the occasion of bat mitzvah from a variety of perspectives legal, philosophical, pedagogical and personal. These essays offer reflections on the nature and form of the event itself, rabbinic responsa, source materials for study in preparation for the acceptance of mitzvot, and descriptions of existing Bat Mitzvah preparatory programs.
